Layered, savoury Chardonnay with coastal freshness

Pale lemon in the glass, this opens with lemon barley water and gentle mealiness before revealing white peach, fleshy lemon and a touch of salty minerality. Juicy white nectarine leads the palate, joined by a subtle yoghurt tang, lemon curd and buttery puff pastry. Fennel and salted lemon rind gather through the long, sinewy finish.

A warm, dry and stable growing season delivered concentrated fruit with excellent brightness. The grapes were hand-harvested and whole-bunch pressed, then fermented entirely with wild yeasts in French oak barrels, of which only 10% were new. After completing 90% malolactic fermentation, the wine spent nine months on lees in barrel.

Young, fresh and beautifully detailed, it is a terrific match for fish and chips, calamari rings and, in true Melbourne style, a steamed South Melbourne Market dim sim. Drink now for its energy or cellar to allow greater richness and mellowness to emerge.

Why we love it

Juicy and layered, with white stone fruit, lemon curd, salty minerality and a long, savoury finish.

About the Winemaker
Moorooduc Estate is a family-owned winery in the northern Mornington Peninsula, founded by Richard and Jill McIntyre and now shaped by the wider family and a close-knit team. Richard’s scientific curiosity and passion for wine led him from a career in surgery to planting a vineyard, while daughter Kate McIntyre MW now oversees the wine business and works alongside Richard and winemaker Jeremy Magyar during vintage.

Across five vineyards, the team gives the vines intensive, hands-on care while embracing regenerative practices that build soil health, biodiversity and resilience. All wines are made on site in the estate’s rammed-earth winery using gentle handling, gravity wherever possible and natural fermentations with local wild yeasts. The result is a distinctive collection of Mornington Peninsula wines shaped by family, thoughtful farming and a deep understanding of their cool maritime environment.
