Region

Wine production labeled as South East Australia origin can include grapes grown in the states of NSW, South Australia and Victoria. This is necessary as the important grapegrowing districts on the Murray River can straddle more than one state boundary. Regional blending also allows a winemaker the flexibility of resources to maintain consistent quality. This regional inter-blending allows the luxury of fusing various grape varieties and styles to produce Australian wines that showcase the archetypal Aussie style, brash and big on fruit with a rich finish on the palate.

Producer

These wines have been specifically chosen for Ellis by our team of buyers. The focus of this range is to create high quality wines which capture the quintessential characteristics of varietals from around the winemaking world. As sustainability is something very close to our hearts here at Ellis, these wines have been shipped in the most environmentally friendly way and bottled at a carbon minus bottling facility.
Tasting Notes
An elegant unoaked Aussie Chardonnay, fermented in steel tanks with the aim to show the fruit character of the grape when grown in a hot southern hemisphere climate. Bright lemon in colour with a fresh nose full of ripe peach and citrus. The palate has a nice weight with flavours of ripe mango, pineapple and peach with a crisp acidity and green apple notes. The tropical notes linger on the palate finishing long and refined.
Food
Have either as an apertif or otherwise best served with white fish dishes such as sea bass, or creamy chicken pasta dishes.
