Very pale straw with a green tinge. Tight and bright early picked peach and melon notes carried on a weighty palate, culminating in a fresh and crisp finish with the most interesting of oak nuances. Medium bodied, seriously delicious Australian Chardonnay!
This wine was fermented cool over a two week period. Selected parcels were fermented with the inclusion of French oak. Once fermentation was complete the wines were matured on fine yeast lees over 3 months to build palate weight.
From the makers to the tasters... De Bortoli Winemaker Selection invites you to enjoy some of our favourite and most trusted drops. Quality wines with exceptional balance and structure.
The grapes, hand-selected and chilled overnight, are whole cluster pressed and the decanted must is then transferred to French oak barrels for fermentation, with a new wood percentage varying between 5% and 20%. After alcoholic fermentation, malolactic fermentation follows to balance the acidity and provide greater roundness. The wine matures on fine lees until bottling, scheduled for the summer following the harvest.
The aromatic profile is complex and refined, with notes of caramelized pear, ripe apple, and apricot blending with hints of melon, yellow plum, and vanilla spices. On the palate, prominent mineral freshness and fruit richness lead to a long and harmonious finish. Excellent pairing with pizzas with intense flavors, tasty risottos, or white meats with aromatic sides.
This is a genuine ‘wow’ wine – you could be forgiven for thinking you were in the grand climats of Burgundy when tasting it. Fine and precise with fresh sugar snap pea and fennel, white nectarine and a hint of struck match. There is tension and length on the palate with classic Tolpuddle Vineyard acidity and fine, chalky texture adding complexity and interest. A lesson in elegance and restraint.

Very intense nose with remarkable buttery notes perfectly balanced by tropical fruit and a hint of toast and spices. Fresh upon entry, giving way to a long evolution across the palate and lively acidity on the finish. Offers intense primary aromas of fresh tropical fruit and peach. Intermingled with the fruit are delicate notes of French oak. The palate entry is voluptuous, and the balanced acidity makes for a fresh, persistent wine.

Oyster Bay Chardonnay truly captures the character of Marlborough with pure, incisive, ripe fruit flavours. A combination of barrel and tank fermentation, the stirring of yeast lees and a portion of malolactic fermentation achieves maximum softness, integration and texture.
New Zealand produces world-class Chardonnay and Marlborough is at the heart of it all as the country’s premier grape-growing region. Marlborough’s warm days and cool nights create an extended growing season allowing the grapes to develop strong, intense varietal characteristics whilst maintaining a balanced, crisp natural acidity. The result is a sublime expression of fruit purity from Marlborough’s unique cool climate and soils. No wonder its called the world’s coolest Chardonnay.

Reviews:
"I was concerned that this might be too rich and exaggerated, especially after the initial aromas of butterscotch on the nose, but no need to worry. There’s enough fruit flavours here to bring a sense of balance and freshness. Stonefruit flavours with peach and citrus, a round, plump mouthfeel, and a hint of vanilla with the oak. It’s a smart combination."

"Medium straw gold with green edges. Fresh bread crust, preserved lemon, ripe yellow melon, white peach flesh, butterscotch, creamed honey, crushed white salt, roast pork flesh and a little hessian sack. Full and fleshy. There’s a touch of struck match and white quartz stoniness to give some interest and balance over lemon curd, peach melba and nougat. The finish is still crisp with a bitter herb nuance. It’s unapologetically big in style, but showing some class."

The Vintage 2022 : After a winter characterized by marked variations in temperature between January and February, spring started with mild temperatures. A sequence of cold weather in April was followed by warm temperatures in May but the lack of water was very noticeable and could not be compensated by the rainy storms of June. Summer was marked by several and long heat waves and the storms of the end of August were most welcome. The harvest at Chanson started on August 30 with a team of 100 persons and ended on 13th September. 2022 vintage was quite generous both in volume and quality and the white wines are well-balanced, precise and refreshing.
Tasting : Pale gold colour. Delicate and refreshing fragrances of white flowers. Lively, brisk and precise. Well integrated acidity. Refreshing aftertaste.
Food pairing : Pâté, fish, charcuterie, and many goat cheeses.
On the palate, Legado Chardonnay Reserva offers bright notes of citrus, green apple, and white peach, layered with delicate hints of flint and toasted almond. Its lively acidity and creamy texture are beautifully balanced by gentle oak nuances, leading to a long and refined finish. Ideal for pairing with seafood, roasted poultry, or creamy pastas, this wine demonstrates De Martino’s ability to craft Chardonnays that are both expressive and food-friendly, perfect for both casual enjoyment and fine dining experiences.
Vibrant citrus and lime fruit alongside notes of chalk, minerals, and stones. The palate is linear and high in acidity, yet naturally textured and medium-bodied, with subtle layers of stone fruit, floral tones, and a hint of toast. A touch of phenolic grip adds a refreshing bite to the long, mineral finish — a precise and balanced expression of Argentina’s modern cool-climate winemaking.

The complex and harmonious combination of aromas of this elegant, noble wine elevate it to truly world-class status. Beautiful golden yellow in colour. Very intense, complex aroma with notes of fruit (citrus and peach compote) over a very fine background of vanilla. Oily and very big on the palate with superb acidity, pleasantly expressing the fruity notes of the aroma.

Pale gold colour, floral fragrances with very fresh aromas of white-fleshed fruit and citrus and nice vanilla note. Complex and well-balanced, dense, precise texture with elegant oak note and a long, fresh finish. Pair with Foie gras, grilled fish, white meats and certain cheeses (Epoisses, Roquefort and Munster).
The organically-grown Don Miguel Vineyard – Named after the late patriarch of the Torres family, this sustainable vineyard is located in the Green Valley — the coolest, foggiest region of the Russian River Valley, only ten miles from the Pacific. Planted in the European-style high density of over 2,000 vines/acre, the yields are low and labor is intensive; but the vines live longer and the grapes acquire better balance and greater concentration, as well as more elegance and finesse. After undergoing 100% malolactic fermentation, the wine was aged on its lees for nine months.
Lovely nose, intense and floral, reminiscent of Meyer lemon and orchard fruit like pear and apple. The palate is fresh and elegant, intense and mineral, with nicely framed oak and a touch of vanilla; the mouthfeel is creamy and long, with notes of biscuit, pie crust and meringue. Delightful to drink right now but it will continue to develop and last for at least 15 to 20 years.
