MD Chardonnay 2024

Cooler and windier conditions during Spring meant lower crop levels, keeping fruit thinning to a minimum. The weather gods then handed us the opposite during Summer, with a warm and settled state prevailing, so this smaller crop was able to mature beautifully. Autumn was similarly favourable, allowing each variety to be picked at its optimum ripeness. Our 2024 harvest saw smaller yields across the board, but as a result we were blessed with intense fruit flavour and concentration, delivering some outstanding wines.

With a brilliant pale gold colour, Main Divide Chardonnay 2024 entices with a captivating bouquet of roasted stone fruits, hazelnut, white blossom and lemon pith, melded with charred nuances and flinty undertones. The palate displays succulent fruit intensity together with fleshy texture and rounded mouthfeel, complimented by a fine ribbon of acidity that weaves through the wine, adding structure and vibrancy. Elegant and wonderfully balanced, the finish is long and resonant, with a grapefruit twisth.
