The 2024 Pressing Matters Chardonnay is a vibrant cool-climate Tasmanian Chardonnay that highlights freshness, texture and precision. Sourced from Tasmania’s Coal River Valley, the wine opens with lifted aromas of white peach, citrus blossom and nectarine alongside subtle notes of grapefruit, cashew and fine mineral detail.
On the palate, it is refined and balanced, with bright acidity, a smooth textured mouthfeel and a long, clean finish. Flavours of lemon curd, stone fruit and gentle oak spice are supported by restrained oak maturation and careful winemaking, allowing the purity of fruit and cool-climate character to remain at the forefront. The 2024 vintage shows excellent energy and finesse, making it both approachable and cellar-worthy in the short to medium term.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent Chardonnay for customers seeking a modern Tasmanian style with freshness, texture and subtle complexity. Drinking beautifully young while retaining the structure to develop over the next 4–6 years. Ideal with grilled seafood, roast chicken, creamy pasta dishes or fresh oysters.
