The 2024 Pipers Brook Estate Chardonnay is a beautifully refined cool-climate Tasmanian Chardonnay that showcases the freshness, purity and maritime elegance that have made northern Tasmania one of Australia’s premier Chardonnay regions. Produced by the pioneering Pipers Brook Vineyard, established in 1974 in the cool Pipers River region, the wine reflects the estate’s long-standing focus on precision, balance and site expression. The 2024 vintage delivered vibrant citrus intensity, fine natural acidity and impressive flavour concentration, resulting in a Chardonnay with both freshness and subtle complexity.
The nose reveals white peach, nectarine and honeysuckle layered with white grapefruit, vanilla bean and delicate oak spice. On the palate, it is fresh yet beautifully textured with bright citrus acidity, subtle creamy complexity and a fine mineral line that carries the wine through a long, elegant finish. Layers of lemon sorbet, stone fruit and seashell minerality unfold with balance and finesse, finishing crisp, vibrant and quietly savoury with classic Tasmanian precision and freshness.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2024 Pipers Brook Estate Chardonnay is a polished and elegant Tasmanian Chardonnay — fresh, mineral and beautifully balanced with excellent cool-climate finesse. Perfect with grilled seafood, roast chicken, scallops, creamy pasta or soft cheeses. Enjoy now for its vibrant citrus freshness or cellar comfortably over the next 6–8 years.
