Summer White

2006 South Eastern Australia Chardonnay 60%, Riesling 40%

The Little Penguin Summer White is a delightful blend of Chardonnay and Riesling, showcasing the vibrant essence of South Eastern Australia. This white wine emanates a brilliant, pale straw color, inviting you to experience its refreshing character. On the palate, it presents a medium body that harmonizes beautifully with a high level of acidity, resulting in a mouthwatering finish that invigorates the senses. The fruit intensity is prominent, featuring lively notes of citrus, green apple, and honeysuckle, while the Riesling adds a hint of floral complexity. Being a dry wine, it is well-balanced and food-friendly, making it the perfect companion for warm summer days and casual gatherings.

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.
