The 2022 Ossa Chardonnay is a cool-climate Australian Chardonnay that focuses on purity, texture and balance rather than overt winemaking influence. Sourced from carefully selected vineyard sites, it offers a fresh and contemporary expression of the variety, with aromas of white peach, nectarine and citrus layered with subtle notes of almond, flint and gentle oak spice.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a finely textured mouthfeel and bright natural acidity. Flavours of stone fruit, lemon curd and crisp apple are supported by a delicate mineral edge, while restrained oak maturation adds complexity and structure without dominating the fruit. The finish is clean, focused and persistent, showing both freshness and depth.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent Chardonnay for customers who enjoy modern, cool-climate styles that balance fruit intensity with freshness and texture. Its vibrant acidity and subtle complexity make it a natural match for grilled seafood, roast chicken, creamy pasta dishes and soft-ripened cheeses. Drinking beautifully now, it will continue to evolve and gain additional complexity over the next 4–6 years.
