Cellar Door Release Chardonnay 2024

Fruit-forward and elegant with just the right touch of French oak—sunshine in a glass, Mornington-style.

Tasting Notes

Nectarine, candied lemon and citrus peel lead the nose, with layers of stone fruit and pineapple on the palate. Barrel stirring lends a creamy texture, balanced by a streak of acidity and a kiss of oak.

Vineyard & Winemaking

Aged in French oak (20%) for nine months, this Chardonnay balances purity of fruit with richness and finesse.

Food Pairing

Keep it simple. Pair with a Sunday roast, scallops with lemon butter, or soft-rind cheeses.

How to Serve

Temperature makes all the difference. A lightly chilled 10°C to 14°C brings out the perfect balance of freshness and texture, whether it’s a bright, citrusy style or something richer with a touch of oak.
