The 2023 First Creek Chardonnay is a vibrant and elegant Hunter Valley Chardonnay crafted in a modern Australian style, showcasing bright fruit, subtle oak and exceptional balance. The nose is expressive and inviting, revealing aromas of white peach, nectarine and grapefruit, complemented by hints of citrus blossom, roasted cashew and delicate vanilla oak.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with refreshing natural acidity and a smooth, creamy texture, delivering flavours of ripe stone fruit, lemon zest and melon layered with subtle oak spice, toasted almond and a touch of brioche. The finish is long, clean and beautifully balanced, highlighting the freshness, finesse and regional character of Hunter Valley Chardonnay.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic Hunter Valley Chardonnay for customers who enjoy elegant, fruit-driven whites with refined oak integration and vibrant acidity. Perfect for entertaining, relaxed lunches or pairing with premium seafood. Best served lightly chilled and enjoyed now or over the next 4–6 years. Ideal with grilled prawns, pan-seared scallops, roast chicken, creamy pasta dishes or soft, creamy cheeses.
