Minimum order of 1 case or 6 bottles (Mixed or straight)
The fruit for this 2021 vintage was handpicked from our premium vineyards located on Tasmania's East Coast and Tamar Valley, whole bunch pressed and barrel fermented. This wine perfectly displays the elements of cool climate Chardonnay with a zesty citrus finesse, mineral notes, and sensational complexity earned from its time maturing in French oak. Patricia would have loved it.
The 2021 Patricia Chardonnay is an elegant wine that balances natural acidity with complexity and ripe stone fruit flavours. Crafted from a blend of two Tasmanian vineyards, it showcases delightful notes of white peach and citrus. With a vibrant straw colour and complex aromas of stone fruits, cashews, citrus, and pear, this wine offers an elegant profile with mineral characters and a long finish. It displays a harmonious balance of acidity, oak, and layers of intrigue.
For the summer months the 2021 Patricia Chardonnay would be perfect with lightly fried white bait with a lemon mayonnaise dipping sauce. During winter try it with lobster and a lime and coriander butter.

"Wild yeast fermentation in French oak (37% new). Patricia Chardonnay is now firmly ensconced in its new home in Tasmania, 2021 imparting a coiled but focused presence in the glass. Combines filigree-fine acidity with equally fine, subtle fruit intensity, a lick of spice and oak-defined almond mealiness. Winemaking is exemplary, allowing the region to star and the fruit to shine."
