This Chardonnay is a testament to the exceptional terroir it originates from, making it a perennial favourite among wine enthusiasts.

Tasting Notes

Chardonnay from an Australian peninsula swept by cooling sea breezes, this is flinty and tinged with orange blossom, tangy with clementine and grapefruit and fabulously moreish.

About the Winery

Kooyong winery, nestled in Australia's distinguished Mornington Peninsula, is undoubtedly an epitome of world-class winemaking. Known for producing some of the finest cool-climate wines, its idyllic location tends to cultivate varieties that are epitome to elegance and complexity.

Kooyong’s nobility doesn't merely hinge upon the high-quality wines it churns out year after year, but equally on its commitment to sustainable winemaking. The winery delicately balances traditional techniques with innovative practices, ensuring minimal impact on the environment while maximising the wines’ nuances of character. As sustainability becomes increasingly pivotal in our society, it's Kooyong’s steadfast adherence to environmentally friendly practices that sets them apart.

The core of their portfolio consists of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, both varieties that thrive in the cool maritime climate of the Mornington Peninsula. These wines are a testament to the region's diverse microclimates, each adding a distinct layer of richness and refinement to our palette. Known for their elegant vibrancy, their Chardonnay is light and fresh, with an underpinning minerality while the Pinot Noir is intrinsically textured with a vibrant fruit core – a true reflection on the peninsula’s soil and climate.

Of particular note, the winery's meticulous focus on viticulture - the drops are produced from estate-grown, handpicked grapes - which are then carefully nurtured in the vineyard’s French oak barrels.

One of the most endearing aspects of Kooyong, apart from its exceptional wines, is its contemporary yet rustic wine cellar.
