Australian Chardonnay has moved well beyond the rich, heavily oaked styles that once put many people off. This sits firmly in the new wave: fresh, well-crafted, and focused on balance rather than weight.
The label playfully references word-of-mouth, with a cluster of "in the know" characters sharing news of the next big discovery. It's a fitting reflection of the wine itself — a genuine vineyard find with clear varietal expression and more depth than you'd expect at this price point.
In the glass, it's a Barossa Valley Chardonnay showing zesty citrus, ripe orchard fruit and a gently rounded mid-palate. A subtle hint of biscuity oak adds complexity without dominating, keeping everything nicely in check. The finish is crisp, clean and quietly moreish.
If Australian Chardonnay hasn't been on your radar for a while, this is a very good one to come back to.
