Cavedon Chardonnay 2024 750ml

This ’24 release is a modern take on Australia’s traditional expression of Chardonnay. It’s medium-bodied & easy drinking, one that doesn’t require raising your pinkie to drink, but still gets your attention nonetheless.  

Our cool climate fruit gave us a roaring head start in the style we wanted to make. We focused on striking up the right balance between fruit, acid and oak- so neither one overpowered the other.  There’s a freshness that comes from the fruit’s crisp acidity and the citrus-peachy-like aromatics. This then all comes together with subtle oak, which polishes it off nicely with a creamy finish. Think white peach & nougat. 

Making this Chardonnay was inspired by a 10-euro bottle from a little bottle shop we found in Paris 10 years ago. We’d bought it to have with an array of cheese that we planned to try over an afternoon (hard work, we know!).  It had a vibrancy to it and just enough oak, so you could still pick up on a spectrum of fruit flavours. It was a style we were less familiar with back home, and it went down all too easy. Little did we know at the time it would make for some creative inspiration later in life! We hope you love it.
