2016 MOUNTADAM HIGH EDEN ESTATE CHARDONNAY

RRP $40 / 2026

From the oldest plantings on the estate, fermented in French oak, matured for 12-14 months before a barrel selection for this wine, which is one of the best produced ex the Eden Valley as a whole. It has fluid grace and effortless power, the fruit flavours at the midpoint of the stone fruit (white peach)/citrus (grapefruit) spectrum. Lovely wine. 14% alc.

WINEMAKER Helen McCarthy How should we enjoy this chardonnay?

The Estate Chardonnay is a textural wine that lends itself to being partnered with food. The wine works well with fish, lighter meats and with wide array of vegetarian dishes. It isn’t a wine that suffers from being pigeonholed by season; my advice is to experiment and watch the different characters of the wine come out based on what you serve with it.
