The 2024 Forest Hill Vineyard Estate Chardonnay is a refined cool-climate Chardonnay from Western Australia's renowned Great Southern region. Sourced from estate-grown fruit, this vintage highlights the region's naturally long, cool growing season, delivering vibrant citrus and stone fruit flavours with impressive freshness, balance and understated complexity.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a silky texture and bright, well-balanced acidity. Layers of white peach, nectarine, lemon curd and grapefruit are complemented by subtle notes of roasted cashew, oatmeal and gentle oak spice. Careful oak maturation and lees contact add texture and depth without overwhelming the fruit, while the finish is long, crisp and finely structured with a delicate mineral edge.
Ben's Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, the 2024 Forest Hill Vineyard Estate Chardonnay is an excellent choice for those who enjoy elegant, cool-climate Chardonnay with purity of fruit and restrained oak influence. It pairs beautifully with grilled prawns, roast chicken, pan-seared barramundi, creamy mushroom pasta or soft-ripened cheeses. Enjoy now for its vibrant fruit and freshness, or cellar over the next 5–8 years as it develops additional complexity and savoury character.
