Chardonnay 2023 | Gold Medal

Tasting Notes:

The 2023 Myattsfield Chardonnay is a beautifully crafted wine with elegant aromatics of nectarine and white peach, creating a fragrant and enticing nose. On the palate, it offers a round texture, with the freshness of grapefruit, passionfruit, and citrus, layered over a foundation of cashew and lemon curd. The wine’s complexity is enhanced by a delicate touch of oak seasoning, which adds a soft buttery character. With its long, clean finish, it’s a Chardonnay that is as vibrant as it is refined.

Reviews 🏆

🔹Ray Jordan (93 points): “A bit of winemaking has gone into this tidy young Chardonnay… It’s a light to medium-bodied wine with a good textural feel carrying a mix of cashew and lemon curd with a lift of nectarine and white peach.”

🔹Wine Companion (95 points): “A soft, buttery expression of Chardonnay with toasty, sweet spice laid on ripe peach, green melon, green mango, and vanilla characters… A very triumphant Chardonnay of complexity and interest.”

Food Pairing Suggestions:

• Seafood: A classic match for grilled prawns, seared scallops, or a lobster bisque, where the wine’s citrus notes complement the sweetness of the seafood.
• Poultry: Enjoy with roasted chicken, particularly dishes with lemon and herbs or a roast chicken with butter and garlic.
• Soft Cheeses: Pair it with creamy cheeses like brie, camembert, or a goat cheese salad for a delightful contrast of textures and flavours.
• Vegetarian Dishes: It also pairs beautifully with dishes such as a mushroom risotto, grilled asparagus, or a creamy pasta.

Learn About Myattsfield Vineyard

Myattsfield Vineyard is a beautiful boutique winery nested in the Perth Hills region.

The original Myattsfield was the family farm in Camberwell, London. Joseph Myatt established a market garden on land owned by the Minet family. Over 175 years on, as descendants of Joseph, we’re now here in the Bickley Valley, Western Australia. The Bickley Valley is merely a small sub-region of the Perth Hills Wine Region, spanning from Chittering to Jarrahdale. This area was acknowledged for its distinct set of geographical and topographical influences impacting the wine quality in the region by the Geographic Indications Committee. It was granted GIC status as a gazetted wine region in 1999.

Who owns Myattsfield Winery? Owners Josh and Rachael are devoted to producing premium red and white wines with a personal, hands on approach. Their wines continue to gain accolades through the industry, with the likes of Ray Jordan ranking Myattsfield a top winery of the Perth Hills. We are pleased to offer you their extensive array of award-winning wines. Expect your palate to be taken on a journey of flavours, with some lesser known, but amazing varietals rarely found like Durif.

The Darling Scarp protects the Valley from maritime influences, making the climate more continental than Mediterranean in nature. This corresponds to cold nights and warm days. Valley walls reduce direct daylight hours, resulting in the daily maxima arriving later in the day and for a shorter period. At 300-350m above sea level, the Bickley Valley is 2-3 degrees cooler than Perth. Amongst the undulating terrain and aspects, site plays an important role in the valley. Elevated, northern-facing slopes produce significantly warmer sites better suited to dry red varieties. Southern-facing, lower sites produce cooler variations capable of producing better whites and lighter reds, while elevated, western-facing sites are ideal for fortified production.
