Highgate has built its reputation on sourcing wines that showcase the best of Australia’s most celebrated regions, and this Hunter Valley Chardonnay is a perfect example of that philosophy. The Hunter Valley is one of Australia’s oldest and most distinctive wine regions, famed for producing elegant, food-friendly Chardonnays with freshness and balance at their core.
The 2022 vintage delivers a wine of real poise and vibrancy. Aromas of ripe stone fruits, citrus blossom and a touch of flinty minerality lead into a palate that’s bright yet textured. There’s a subtle influence of oak, adding gentle spice and creamy weight, but it remains beautifully restrained, allowing the peach, nectarine and lemon curd flavours to shine. The finish is clean, fresh and long, with a lift of acidity that makes it as versatile with food as it is satisfying on its own.
Pair with roast chicken, creamy pasta or grilled seafood for a classic match.
