De Bortoli AUS Estate Reserve Chardonnay 2025

Generous, smooth and wonderfully approachable, De Bortoli AUS Estate Reserve Chardonnay captures the ripe fruit character of Australian Chardonnay while retaining a welcome sense of freshness and balance. Aromas of juicy peach, ripe nectarine and melon are complemented by citrus zest, subtle vanilla and a gentle suggestion of toasted oak. The palate is rounded and inviting, with layers of tropical fruit, golden apple and soft stone fruit supported by a creamy texture and refreshing acidity. Delicate notes of butterscotch, toasted almond and warm spice add richness without overwhelming the fruit, while the finish is smooth, satisfying and pleasantly persistent. A classic, fruit-forward Australian Chardonnay with just enough oak influence to provide depth and complexity.
