Tasting Notes

The 2024 Picardy Chardonnay is an exceptional expression of this classic varietal, offering a refined yet complex profile that is a testament to the winery’s commitment to quality.

  • Colour: Bright, pale gold with a shimmering clarity.
  • Aroma: The nose is rich and inviting, with aromas of white peach, ginger, jasmine tea, and spring florals. Layers of orange peel and a hint of cracked fennel seeds add depth and intrigue.
  • Palate: On the palate, the wine reveals a piercing acidity that is perfectly integrated with creamy, delicate fruit. The texture is smooth and well-structured, providing a wonderful mouthfeel. As it lingers, the finish delivers complex nuances of ground white pepper, crushed nuts, and a whisper of brine, adding a savoury element to the wine’s overall character.

Food Pairings

  • Grilled Fish: The wine’s crisp acidity and minerality make it a fantastic match for grilled fish or seafood, such as grilled barramundi or lobster with a squeeze of lemon.
  • Roast Chicken: The balanced structure and creamy texture complement the flavours of roast chicken with a lemon and herb stuffing, or even a chicken and mushroom risotto.
  • Soft Cheeses: Enjoy with Brie, Camembert, or even a goat cheese salad, where the wine’s acidity enhances the creamy richness of the cheeses.
  • Asian Cuisine: The nuanced ginger and orange peel notes in the wine pair beautifully with Thai food, such as green curry or spicy prawn stir-fry.

Accolades

Ray Jordan Wine Review – 95 Points
There’s a striking precision and fineness about a wine from a warm year that still produced excellent fruit in Pemberton. Aromas of peach and light ginger with floral, jasmine-like notes. The palate has a faintly creamy cashew complexity and a nice lift, finishing with a savoury light cashew influence.
