Cartwheel Chardonnay

2005 South Eastern Australia Chardonnay

The Cartwheel Chardonnay from the 2005 vintage is a delightful expression of white wine hailing from the picturesque South Eastern Australia region. This wine showcases a medium-bodied profile with vibrant acidity, lending it an invigorating quality that dances on the palate. The fruit intensity is prominent, featuring luscious notes of stone fruit and citrus that are beautifully complemented by hints of oak. The tannins are elegantly soft, providing a smooth mouthfeel that enhances the overall experience. This Chardonnay is crafted in a dry style, making it an excellent choice for pairing with seafood or poultry dishes, and it certainly reflects the meticulous winemaking techniques of its region, which has garnered acclaim for its exceptional quality.

South Eastern Australia

Covering the entire southeastern third of the country, the South Eastern Australia designation is a vast area (over 1,200 miles long and encompassing the regions of South Australia, New South Wales and Tasmania). Many of Australia's best wines are made here. From the stunning Shiraz produced around Adelaide to the luscious Sémillons of the Hunter Valley, and from the fragrant Pinot Noirs of Tasmania to the lush Chardonnay of Riverina, nearly every grape variety and wine style flourishes in South Eastern Australia, basking in the sun-kissed Mediterranean climate and rich, varied soils.
