The 2023 Munda Wadandi Country Chardonnay (Margaret River) is a refined cool-climate Australian white, crafted from 100% Chardonnay grown in the Wallcliffe sub-region, where maritime influence and ancient soils contribute to precision and balance. Produced by Munda Wines—an Indigenous-owned winery—it reflects a strong connection to Country and terroir, with hand-harvesting, barrel fermentation and lees ageing adding texture and complexity. The nose is elegant and layered, showing white peach, nectarine and citrus zest, complemented by notes of flint, oatmeal, subtle spice and delicate florals.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a creamy yet focused texture, supported by bright acidity and a fine mineral backbone. Flavours of stone fruit, lemon curd and pear are balanced by gentle oak influence and a touch of cashew nuttiness, leading to a long, clean and structured finish. The style is classic Margaret River Chardonnay—combining richness with freshness, and power with precision, in a poised and modern expression.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a standout for customers looking for a premium Australian Chardonnay with both texture and finesse. It’s ideal for those who enjoy Burgundy-style Chardonnay or Margaret River classics with subtle oak and strong minerality. This is not overly heavy—it’s balanced, layered and elegant. Drink now or over the next 5–8 years. Perfect with roast chicken, seafood, creamy pasta or butter-based dishes.
