Victoria Park Chardonnay 2021

Victoria Park Chardonnay, South Australia, 2021 

100% Chardonnay, oaked

The wine takes its name from Victoria Park, which the first settlers carved out of the rugged bushlands of Adelaide in South Australia. Named after Princess Victoria, before being crowned Queen, the Parklands are a part of Colonel William Light’s vision for the city. 

The grapes for this premium wine have been sourced from sustainably managed vineyards within South Australia. Pale straw green. Aromas of fresh cut peach flesh with accents of wild honey and hints of lemon myrtle. These are supported by fig and cinnamon spice complexities from wild fermentation. Medium bodied, layers of flavour build across the palate that reflect not only the fruit but the use of wild fermentation and ageing on yeast lees. On the palate the slightest hint of oak comes through as a hint of cinnamon and spice, highlighting the complexity derived from barrel matured reserve wine. Balanced acidity gives the wine thrust through to the refreshing finish.

Drink with chicken & mushroom risotto, chicken stroganoff, or lobster roll.
