The 1838 Reserve Chardonnay 2024 delivers a fresh, vibrant, and fruit-forward expression of unoaked Australian Chardonnay. In the glass, it shows a pale straw colour with bright green hues, offering a clean and inviting appearance.

The nose bursts with fresh peach and citrus aromas, layered with subtle tropical fruit notes. On the palate, it’s all about crisp acidity and a mouth-filling texture, driven by juicy flavours of stone fruit, citrus, and melon. A soft, creamy mid-palate—achieved through careful lees contact—adds richness and a long, clean finish that remains bright and refreshing without the use of oak.

This is a modern, unoaked Chardonnay that focuses on purity of fruit and elegant structure—making it a perfect companion for grilled chicken with lemon herb butter, garlic prawns, creamy pasta dishes, or a light Caesar salad. Its clean finish also makes it a great match for Asian-style dishes like Vietnamese rice paper rolls or chicken satay.

A consistent crowd-pleaser, this wine is backed by strong credentials. The previous vintage was rated 92 Points and awarded by the Australian Wine Showcase Magazine, and the 1838 Reserve range is proudly known for producing our best-selling unoaked Chardonnay of all time.
