The 2023 Fowles Ladies Who Shoot Their Lunch Chardonnay is a refined Victorian Chardonnay crafted in a modern Australian style that balances fruit purity with texture and restraint. The nose is layered and expressive, revealing aromas of white peach, nectarine and citrus alongside subtle cashew, struck flint and gentle oak spice.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with bright acidity and a creamy, textured mouthfeel, delivering flavours of stone fruit, lemon curd and grapefruit with underlying savoury complexity. Careful oak integration adds structure without overpowering the wine, leading to a long, balanced and mineral-driven finish.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent Chardonnay for customers who enjoy more complex and structured styles while still retaining freshness and drinkability. Best enjoyed over the next 4–6 years as the texture and savoury characters continue to develop. Ideal with roast chicken, grilled lobster, creamy seafood dishes or mushroom risotto.
