Tasting Notes:
The Below & Above Chardonnay 2018 is a truly special wine, showcasing the exceptional quality of Pemberton’s regeneratively grown fruit and the meticulous winemaking of Bruce Dukes (Domaine Naturaliste). This limited rerelease of museum stock offers a unique opportunity to savour a wine that is both complex and elegant.

In the glass, the wine reveals a complex nose of ripe apricot, nectarine, and custard apple, with subtle hints of struck matchstick and oak reduction that add depth and intrigue. The palate is a multi-layered experience, with savoury fruit intensity complemented by toasty oak and delicate spice notes. The lean, clean acidity cuts through the wine, leading to a very long, dry, and savoury finish that is both precise and satisfying.

Perfect Pairings:
This Chardonnay pairs beautifully with rich, creamy dishes such as lobster bisque, roasted poultry, or grilled seafood. It’s also an excellent companion for soft cheeses like brie or camembert. While delicious to drink now, this wine will continue to evolve and develop further over the years, making it an excellent choice for cellaring.

A Wine That Tells a Story:
Crafted from Below & Above’s regeneratively grown vineyards in the Pemberton region, this Chardonnay exemplifies the winery’s commitment to sustainability and quality. Under the careful guidance of winemaker Bruce Dukes, this wine showcases both the region’s unique terroir and the expertise of one of Australia’s finest winemakers. A true expression of the potential of Pemberton wines.
