2023 Marchand & Burch Village Chardonnay
$48.00
Marchand & Burch Villages Chardonnay is sourced from our Mount Barrow vineyard in the Mount Barker sub-region of the Great Southern. Cooler-than-usual temperatures paired with optimal, dry weather set the scene for an extended, yet exceptional 2023 vintage in the Great Southern, resulting in white wines with gentle fruit, fine purity and bright acid.

TASTING NOTE
Vintage
Fruit intensity and purity stand resolutely at the forefront of this wine, yet it is the fine acidity and restrained minerality typical of Great Southern Chardonnay that sets it apart. The complex and layered bouquet is characterized by cool climate fruit notes of pink lady apple, poached pear, white grapefruit, and preserved lemons. Underneath the lofty, enticing fruit lies undercurrents of savoury oak in the form of oatmeal, struck match, caramel, sweet spice, and fresh pastry. The palate is built around this wine’s juicy natural acidity that glides from the front palate all the way through to a dry finish imparting notes of vanilla bean, nutmeal, and sweet citrus along the way.
Food Match
Enjoy alongside misoyaki ocean trout with yuzu, truffle and fermented ginger.
