Dawson & James Tasmania Chardonnay is an exquisite offering from sunny Australia's pristine island state. The nose is a delightful blend of classic Chardonnay notes of citrus, white peach and apple. The palate promises deep flavours skillfully balanced by a well-integrated acidity that lends a fresh, crisp finish. This bottle showcases the signature minerality typical of cool-climate Tasmanian wines, underscored by the gentle touch of French oak. This full-bodied Chardonnay pairs beautifully with seafood or creamy pasta dishes. Dawson & James deliver a world-class wine that tastes like a luxurious symphony in a glass.

Tasting Notes

The wine has aromas of fresh citrus florals, herbs and toast on the nose. Layers of fresh nectarine and lemon pith flavours are abundant on the palate, balanced by savoury oak notes and a creamy mouthfeel. Long and intense, this wine is driven by lively and soft natural acidity.

Regrettably the one thing they haven’t mastered however, is punctuation it seems.
