The area of Mount Gambier in Australia has found recent success with its relatively young vineyards that thrive in the region’s diverse soils. This striking Chardonnay is the result of vines grown in volcanic soil and in a cool climate. Complex aromas of lemon, pear meet a palate ripe with melon and crispy apple. A subtle aging in French oak enables this medium bodied white to retain its attractive and delicate flinty notes and balanced acidity. Try pairing with roasted poultry in a butter sauce or a fatty fish like salmon.
