The 2024 Ninth Island Chardonnay is a vibrant cool-climate white from Tasmania, showcasing freshness, purity and bright fruit character. The nose is aromatic and inviting, offering white peach, melon and pear, layered with citrus zest, subtle floral notes and a hint of spice.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a smooth, lightly textured mouthfeel, where ripe stone fruit and citrus flavours are balanced by crisp acidity and a clean mineral edge. The finish is fresh, rounded and fruit-driven, with a lively, refreshing lift. The style is modern, approachable and easy-drinking, focusing on brightness and balance.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for customers looking for a fresh, fruit-forward Chardonnay with excellent value and versatility. Ideal for everyday drinking or casual occasions. Best enjoyed young over the next 1–3 years. Perfect with seafood, grilled chicken, salads or light pasta dishes.
