The 2021 Moppity Atrius Chardonnay is a refined Tumbarumba Chardonnay crafted in a modern cool-climate Australian style. Sourced from premium high-altitude vineyards in New South Wales, the wine balances bright stone fruit, citrus freshness and subtle oak complexity, reflecting the precision and elegance that Tumbarumba Chardonnay is known for. Careful use of French oak and lees stirring adds texture while preserving freshness and varietal purity.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with vibrant acidity and a creamy, layered texture, delivering flavours of white peach, nectarine and grapefruit alongside hints of toasted almond, cashew and subtle vanilla spice. The wine remains lively and mineral-driven, with restrained oak integration supporting a long, balanced finish without overpowering the fruit.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent Chardonnay for customers who enjoy elegant cool-climate styles with freshness, texture and restrained oak influence. Tumbarumba’s high-altitude conditions give the wine precision and mineral drive while maintaining generous stone fruit character. Drinking beautifully now and capable of evolving further over the next 4–6 years. Ideal with grilled fish, roast chicken, creamy pasta dishes or soft cheeses.
