The 2023 Deviation Road Chardonnay is a refined cool-climate white from the Adelaide Hills, showcasing the winery’s signature balance of elegance and precision. The nose is expressive and layered, with white peach, nectarine and citrus complemented by hints of flint, cashew and subtle oak spice.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied and finely textured, offering stone fruit, lemon pith and a gentle creaminess, supported by bright natural acidity and a chalky mineral edge. The finish is long, clean and quietly savoury, delivering both freshness and complexity.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great modern Adelaide Hills Chardonnay and a versatile crowd-pleaser. Ideal for customers who enjoy balanced, cool-climate styles with freshness and subtle oak influence. Not overly rich—focused on finesse, texture and drinkability. Drink now or cellar for 5–8 years. Perfect with roast chicken, grilled fish, creamy pasta or soft cheeses.
