2024 Denton Estate Chardonnay

The 2024 Denton Estate Chardonnay is a beautifully poised and expressive Yarra Valley Chardonnay that showcases cool-climate purity, fine texture and mineral precision. Crafted with a restrained winemaking philosophy, the wine balances vibrant fruit with subtle savoury complexity, allowing the distinctive vineyard character to shine through. The nose reveals white peach, lemon curd and grapefruit layered alongside flinty reduction, oatmeal, cashew and delicate citrus blossom. There’s an elegant mineral freshness and subtle savoury depth that gives the wine impressive refinement and energy.

On the palate, it is medium-bodied with bright natural acidity, silky texture and beautifully focused fruit concentration. Fresh citrus and stone fruit flavours are complemented by subtle lees richness, delicate oak spice and a taut mineral line that carries through the long, finely balanced finish. Precise and textural in style, the wine combines freshness and complexity effortlessly while remaining highly approachable.
