Handpicked Regional Selection Yarra Valley Chardonnay (2017) is a refined and elegant expression of one of Australia’s premier cool-climate wine regions. The Yarra Valley is known for producing Chardonnays with vibrant fruit characters balanced by fresh acidity, and this wine is a perfect example. In the glass, it displays a pale straw color with green highlights, showcasing its youthful freshness. On the nose, the wine offers an enticing bouquet of citrus fruits, including lemon and lime, alongside ripe stone fruits such as white peach and nectarine. Subtle hints of cashew and a touch of flinty minerality suggest gentle oak influence, adding depth and complexity to the aromatic profile without overpowering the fresh fruit aromas.
On the palate, the 2017 Chardonnay is medium-bodied and beautifully balanced, with a lively freshness that defines the style. The bright citrus flavors of lemon and lime are complemented by the stone fruit notes of peach and nectarine, creating a harmonious interplay of fruitiness and acidity. There is also a delicate creaminess on the mid-palate, which is characteristic of subtle oak maturation, with nuances of vanilla and a light buttery texture adding richness without being overly indulgent. The acidity is well-integrated, keeping the wine refreshing and ensuring it maintains its clean, crisp character. This wine is smooth and refined, with the oak adding a layer of complexity while allowing the fruit to shine through.
The finish is long and elegant, with lingering citrus and nutty undertones that provide a satisfying end to the tasting experience. The Handpicked Regional Selection Yarra Valley Chardonnay 2017 is a versatile wine that pairs wonderfully with a variety of dishes. It is an ideal match for roasted chicken, seafood, or creamy pasta dishes, as its acidity cuts through richness while enhancing the flavors of the food. While this wine is delicious now, it also has the potential to develop further with cellaring. Drink it now for its vibrant freshness or cellar it for up to five years to enjoy added complexity and richness. This Chardonnay is a true testament to the quality and finesse of Yarra Valley wines.

Pale yellow. Medium intensity on nose. Citrus lemon blossoms. Butter hint of vanilla. Medium acidity. Quite dry. Medium length. Ok
Hu Xuan –
Mid straw in colour, plenty of lemon on the nose with a medium/ heavy set of oak and butter.
I prefer the lighter styles but the acidity was high so it was refreshing with the goats cheese.
Cherlyl Loo –
Heavy body, creamy texture with citrus and stone fruit notes.

Second time having this Chardonnay and the funkiness is still the first thing that jumps out at me, damped forest floor, blue cheese, lime zest and white pepper, pale yellow color with high acidity and light to medium body, tastes of lime zest, lemon peel, lemon grass and lime leaf, interesting Chardonnay
