Discover the vibrant charm of Red Claw Chardonnay, a 750ml gem from the Mornington Peninsula’s Yabby Lake Vineyard. Crafted by acclaimed winemaker Tom Carson, this Chardonnay is sourced from estate vineyards, hand-picked, and whole-bunch pressed, with a portion fermented in French oak barriques to add texture, while the rest in stainless steel preserves freshness. The 2019 vintage, shaped by a warm, extended summer, reveals a pale lemon hue with a bright nose of white peach, grapefruit, and lemon zest, accented by subtle nougat and spice. The palate is crisp and focused, offering juicy stone fruit, a touch of creamy lees, and a refreshing, mineral-driven finish. Rated 93 points by James Halliday, this Chardonnay embodies Red Claw’s ethos of approachable luxury, perfect for pairing with grilled fish or creamy pasta dishes. A collector’s delight with immediate appeal, ready to elevate any gathering.
