Sir Oscar Darby

2021 South Eastern Australia Chardonnay

The Sir Oscar Darby Chardonnay from the 2021 vintage hails from the picturesque region of South Eastern Australia. This white Chardonnay offers a delightful balance of body, acidity, fruit intensity, tannins, and dryness. It showcases a harmonious blend of flavors that embody the essence of the terroir. Ideal for any occasion, this Chardonnay is a true testament to the art of winemaking in the South Eastern Australian region.

Tasting notes:

Although a dry wine, not sweet, we've likened its tasting experience to lemon meringue pie. That's because it has smooth, unctuous textures with just the right amount of balanced acidity. Notes of honeysuckle, banana, mandarin and beeswax delight the senses.

Region:

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.
