About Rockcliffe Third Reef Range Chardonnay 750mL
Rockcliffe Third Reef Range Chardonnay opens with an inviting bouquet of white peach, ripe nectarine, and toasted brioche, underpinned by subtle vanilla and a whisper of struck flint. On the palate, this Margaret River-style Chardonnay delivers beautifully integrated oak alongside creamy lemon curd, grilled pineapple, and a touch of cashew. The wine shows excellent tension between its natural fruit richness and a bright, salivating acidity that keeps everything fresh and lively. The mouthfeel is silky and generous without being heavy, reflecting careful barrel maturation that complements rather than dominates the fruit.
