About This Wine


Avro 618

Chardonnay

The Avro 618 “Southern Cloud” was a breakthrough for a sparsely populated continent. The first mail carrier plane was instrumental in developing infrastructure and delivering the mail that was needed to run the country. Like the plane, the Avro 618 “Southern Cloud” Chardonnay delivers. With notes of nectarine, melon, and vanilla balancing out a round palate the wine is incredibly easy to drink and to pair. Subtle hints of nuts and spice make the wine perfect for complementing white meats, especially fish. We have been loving it with grilled or pan-seared fish and fresh vegetables. Judges love it too! It took home a Silver medal at the 2018 New York International Wine Competition, the International Women's Wine Competition, and the USA Wine Ratings Competition.

Wine Region


Australia

The Land Down Under is famous for taking well-known European grapes and giving them a new personality. From bold, jammy Shiraz to creamy oak-tinged Chardonnay, herbaceous Sémillon to distinctively citrusy Riesling, when it comes to quality, Australian wine can be breathtaking. This is thanks to its variety of climates and terroirs. Australia is roughly the same size as the continental United States, with temperatures ranging from searingly hot to moderately cool. The best regions have warm days and cool nights, tempered by breezes from the Southern and Indian Oceans.
