MadFish Chardonnay

MadFish Chardonnay

Wine Description

The MadFish Unwooded Chardonnay is a blend of several regions across South Western Australia. Each region delivers fruit with different flavour profiles that contribute beautifully to the final blend. Each parcel is fermented separately to allow the winemakers the challenge each year of blending each batch to find the right balance of fruit weight and consistent style.

Acclaim
“This West Aussie white is a perfect intro to modern Chardy Down Under. It’s bright, creamy and crisp, popping with lemon-lime, saline, stone and tropical fruits. A slippery texture is buoyed by tingly acidity. Pure refreshment and an ideal fridge stocker.”– (Best Buy)
