Moorooduc, Chardonnay 2023

Get to know: Moorooduc, Chardonnay

Tasting Note

Pale gold in colour with lifted aromas of lemon rind, white peach, blossom and a touch of honeydew melon. Some nutty, salty savoury notes add complexity on the nose. On the palate the wine is rich, with plenty of citrus and stone fruit flavour, firm acid line and a savoury textural note. The wine finishes dry and biscuity with a lemon tang.

A beautiful match to a creamy seafood chowder, or scallop pie.
