2023 Beautiful Isle Chardonnay

The 2023 Beautiful Isle Chardonnay is sourced from Marion’s Vineyard in Tasmania’s Tamar Valley, a former apple and pear orchard dating back to the 1800s. Created by David Feldheim under the Beautiful Isle label, the wine reflects the cool-climate conditions that have made Tasmania one of Australia’s leading Chardonnay regions. Crafted in a fresh, modern style, it offers outstanding value while showcasing the purity and vibrancy of Tasmanian fruit.

The nose shows kefir lime, lemongrass, orange blossom and green apple, with hints of sea spray and crushed quartz. The palate is bright and focused, combining citrus and stone fruit flavours with lively acidity, subtle almond-like texture and a clean mineral finish. Fresh, energetic and beautifully balanced, it delivers far more complexity than its price suggests.

Ben’s Recommendation:
A terrific cool-climate Chardonnay that punches well above its weight. Fresh, mineral and highly drinkable, it pairs beautifully with grilled fish, prawns, roast chicken, creamy pasta and soft cheeses. Enjoy now and over the next 3–5 years while its vibrant fruit and freshness are at their peak.
