🌟 A beautifully crafted Yarra Valley Chardonnay—mineral, textured, and built to evolve with age.

👁 In the Glass:
Pale straw with golden glints—refined and luminous.

👃 On the Nose:
Waxy white florals, fresh grapefruit zest, and crushed sea shell are lifted by hints of clove, almond skin, and subtle oak spice. A precise and aromatic bouquet that speaks of cool-climate finesse.

👅 On the Palate:
Tightly wound and focused, with layers of nectarine, white peach, and Meyer lemon, underscored by savoury notes of raw cashew and toasted granola. The texture is silky yet taut, with bright acidity and a chalky, mineral finish that lingers and evolves.

🍽 Food Pairing:
A superb partner for grilled lobster, roast chicken with tarragon, mushroom risotto, or soft cheeses like Brie or triple cream. Also perfect with hazelnut-crusted fish or root vegetable gratin.

⏳ Enjoyment Window:
Drinking beautifully now with a short decant, but will reward cellaring for 5–10 years as it gains depth, complexity, and nutty elegance.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
Rob Dolan White Label Chardonnay is a masterclass in modern Australian winemaking—subtle power, purity of fruit, and quiet complexity all in one glass. If you love Burgundian poise with an Aussie accent, this is your next must-try. It’s cerebral, expressive, and utterly captivating.
