The 2024 Pepper Tree Chardonnay is a fresh and beautifully balanced cool-climate Chardonnay blended from Pepper Tree’s premium estate vineyards in Orange, the Hunter Valley and Wrattonbully. Crafted in a modern Australian style, the wine focuses on vibrant fruit purity, subtle complexity and refreshing natural acidity. The cool-climate fruit sources contribute brightness and elegance, while careful winemaking preserves the variety’s natural stone fruit character and fine texture.
The nose reveals peach, white flowers and nectarine layered with hints of citrus zest and brown spice. On the palate, it is generous yet fresh, with ripe stone fruit flavours supported by a refined acid line and subtle complexity. Layers of white peach, melon and gentle spice unfold with balance and finesse, finishing long, crisp and beautifully refreshing with excellent drinkability.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2024 Pepper Tree Chardonnay is a polished and easy-drinking Chardonnay — fresh, fruit-driven and beautifully balanced with plenty of flavour and freshness. Perfect with roast chicken, grilled seafood, creamy pasta, crumbed fish or soft cheeses. Enjoy now for its youthful vibrancy or over the next 3–5 years.
