About Scotchmans Hill Chardonnay 750ML 2024
Scotchmans Hill Chardonnay from the Bellarine Peninsula displays a luminous straw-gold hue with green highlights. On the nose, it opens with inviting aromas of white peach, nectarine, and freshly squeezed grapefruit, underpinned by a subtle thread of toasted oak and creamy lees. The palate is poised and elegant, delivering ripe stone fruit flavours alongside zesty citrus and a hint of fig, with well-integrated French oak lending a gentle vanilla and cashew complexity. Bright natural acidity provides structure and freshness, while a silky, mouth-coating texture speaks to careful barrel fermentation and extended lees contact. The finish is long, clean, and mineral-driven, with a lingering savoury quality that invites another sip.
