2024 Oakridge Yarra Valley Chardonnay

Oakridge has been setting the pace for modern Yarra Chardonnay for years, and this release shows exactly why. Sourced from vineyards across the Valley and made with the same sharp eye as their top wines, it’s crisp, layered and refreshingly understated.

Everything’s done with a light hand – the fruit is hand picked, fermented wild, and aged in old French oak, no bells and whistles. What you get is Chardonnay with real drive and clarity, plenty of citrus and stone fruit, a flick of acid and just enough texture to keep it interesting.

It’s serious enough for the table, relaxed enough for a weeknight, and priced so you don’t have to think twice.

"An excellent introduction into the Oakridge chardonnay program. Immediately appealing with its aromas of ripe nectarines and a pinch of fresh vanillin. Even better on the harmonious, uncluttered and very flavoursome palate. Perfectly priced to drink and enjoy over the next year or two."
