Yalumba

Organic Chardonnay

Made with organic South Australian grapes, this wine showcases the true varietal flavors and unique sites around South Australia in which the fruit grown. No oak is used and the wine goes through natural wild fermentation as well as wild malolactic fermentation. Very few additions are made to the wine – only what’s required to preserve the natural flavors.

Wine Production

Made with organic winemaking techniques with very little winemaking intervention. 100% indigenous yeast fermentation.

Tasting Notes

Pale straw with green hues, this wine exhibits aromas of lemon myrtle, pineapple and hints of stone fruit and melon. The palate is full of peach and melon initially and leads into a rich orange panna cotta mid palate with a long length of flavour.

Food Pairing

Enjoy with spicy mussels and soba noodles
