The 2024 Cavedon Chardonnay is a fresh, modern Chardonnay from King Valley, Victoria, crafted to showcase the region's cool-climate fruit with a balanced approach to oak. The 2024 vintage opens with inviting aromas of white peach, nectarine and citrus, complemented by hints of grapefruit, nougat and subtle vanilla. A combination of vibrant fruit, crisp acidity and restrained oak creates a Chardonnay that is approachable while retaining excellent depth and freshness.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with bright natural acidity and a smooth, creamy texture. Flavours of ripe stone fruit, lemon zest and crisp apple are layered with gentle oak, subtle nutty notes and a touch of citrus, leading to a clean, balanced finish. The careful integration of fruit, acidity and oak results in a well-rounded Chardonnay that is both refreshing and food-friendly.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic everyday Chardonnay for customers who enjoy fresh, fruit-driven whites with a creamy texture and balanced oak influence. It pairs beautifully with grilled chicken, baked barramundi, creamy pasta, roast pork or soft-ripened cheeses. Best enjoyed over the next 3–5 years, served lightly chilled to highlight its vibrant fruit, bright acidity and smooth finish.
