More about this wine from Adelaide Hills, South Australia
Situated a short drive east from Adelaide in the Onkaparinga Valley of South Australia, the Sidewood winery and vineyards are nestled in the cool-climate region of the Adelaide Hills, the Mecca of Australian primo wine. A cool climate is everything... especially when it comes to Chardonnay. The WA Crew typically steers clear of the overly oak-y and over-the-top buttery Chardonnays, and the Sidewood Chardonnay shows exactly how good this grape can be!

The nose is like lemon-lime, peach, guava, citrus blossom, and grapefruit combine forces like Captain Planet to make the best smelling sparkling water ever. But the aromas are just the preview of what's to come... the palate starts by spilling an opulent and mouth-watering level of melon, honeydew, fresh-cut peaches, and grapefruit that ends with a steely and mineral-y finish. This Chardonnay is rich enough for the dinner table but refreshing enough to sip on its own.

How to drink it

Pro Tip:

A cool, crisp day gives you the genius idea of throwing a garden party. Because your one-bedroom doesn't have a garden, you make do by putting all your house plants around the kitchen table and opening the closest window.
