This style redefines NSW Chardonnay.The cool climate of Tumbarumba, at the foothills of the Snowy Mountains, is ideally suited to producing lean, elegant and refined Chardonnays such as this. The region is fast gaining recognition as a potential source of Australia’s very finest Chardonnays.

Review
“Made by the up-and-coming Moppity Vineyards and designed to provide serious value. Burst of flavour. Fresh as hell too. Drinkers will really enjoy this. Tastes of pear and spice and sherbert. Attractive ball of flavour through the core of it before it turns all refreshing and juicy as you swallow. Excellent, no questions asked.” Winefront
