The Capel Vale Regional Series Margaret River Chardonnay is an elegant and expressive wine demonstrating Margaret River’s claim as a world class Chardonnay region. This delicious 2021 Chardonnay is 100% wild ferment and spent seven months in French barriques. Lees stirring was achieved throughout enhancing flavour complexity. With flavours of orange blossom, freshly shaved fennel and toasted hazelnut with a briny, saline finish.
Ageing potential: A great wine to drink on release. This wine will gain in complexity with cellaring up to 5 to 7 years.
Food pairing: Risotto with spring vegetables and cooked shellfish.
Alcohol: 12.5% ABV

string(513) "Possibly the most famous grape variety in the world, Chardonnay has found a home in pretty much every corner of the wine world. From crisp, flinty Chablis styles to full-bodied, oaky, rich Napa Valley Chardonnay it is a variety which has the ability to morph according to the climate or winemaking philosophy. It also has the capacity to produce amongst the greatest white wines in the world. Some praise indeed for this chameleon variety, the likes of which may only truly be matched by Riesling or Chenin Blanc."
