The 2021 Balgownie Estate Yarra Valley Chardonnay is a vibrant and elegant cool-climate Chardonnay that highlights the freshness and finesse of the Yarra Valley. The nose is lifted and refined, showing aromas of white peach, citrus and nectarine layered with subtle vanilla, toasted nuts and delicate oak spice.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a creamy texture balanced by bright acidity, delivering flavours of stone fruit, lemon curd and gentle minerality. The finish is smooth, fresh and beautifully structured, with a modern style that focuses on balance rather than heaviness.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for customers seeking a fresh yet textured Australian Chardonnay with classic Yarra Valley character. Enjoy now or cellar over the next 3–5 years. Perfect with grilled seafood, roast chicken, creamy pasta or soft cheeses.
