2023 Reserve Chardonnay

From the “close to perfect” 2023 vintage, the Reserve Chardonnay is an absolute cracker, a standout in the world of Swan Valley Chardonnay.

Characteristically elegant, it opens with ripe pineapple, juicy pear, and apricot on the nose, leading to a smooth, creamy palate. Nine months in a thoughtful mix of new, one-year, two-year, and three-year-old French oak barrels enhances the wine’s complexity, texture, and balance. Expect layers of lemon curd, almond biscotti, vanilla, and finishing notes of buttered toast and warm popcorn—rich yet refined. The oak and fruit are perfectly balanced, with neither dominating, thanks to this careful winemaking process.

This is a vegan wine, unfiltered and unfined, crafted with minimal intervention—100% plant-based and true to its grape origins.

Fabulous now but will reward cellaring for up to 10 years.

A stunning match for pork belly or creamy mushroom risotto, and a must-try for anyone who loves premium Perth Chardonnay from one of the best Swan Valley wineries.
