2024 Varney Wines Chardonnay

A cool, classy example of Adelaide Hills Chardonnay here from Alan Varney, with some tangy oxidative characters

This is just the way you should treat cool climate Chardonnay. It's fermented with wild yeast, stirred regularly in barrel, and kept in a trim, elegant frame.

These wines from Varney are incredibly stylish for the price. Fresh, modern, easily approachable yet imbued with enough complexity to keep you coming back for more. This Chardonnay is no exception.

Lovely stuff for those who enjoy finer, more slipstream versions of Chardonnay.

"It’s poised, refined, very long and very good."
