The Brookland Valley Verse 1 Margaret River Chardonnay 2024 is a beautifully crafted wine that showcases the best of Margaret River Chardonnay. This wine offers a lifted bouquet of nectarine and pink grapefruit, complemented by vanillin and toasty oak, creating a fruit-forward yet complex nose. The background nuances of brioche and hints of honey add further depth, enhancing the overall aromatic profile. The palate is rich and textured, with bright fruit flavours of white peach and honeydew melon, complemented by juicy acidity that keeps the wine fresh and lively.

This medium-bodied Chardonnay is further enriched by creamy butterscotch and toasty oak, contributing to its complexity and persistence of flavour. The fruit was machine-harvested at night, ensuring the grapes were picked at optimal conditions to retain their freshness. The wine underwent gentle processing before being fermented in a combination of stainless steel and oak barrels with indigenous yeasts to build complexity and texture. The wine was then aged on lees for eight months, allowing for a creamy texture and long, satisfying finish.

With its balance of fruit, texture, and complexity, this Margaret River Chardonnay is an excellent example of what the region does best. It offers a wonderful value for its quality, making it a great choice for any occasion.

Enjoy this wine with a range of seafood dishes, grilled chicken, or creamy pasta. Its complexity and texture also make it an ideal match for soft cheeses or charcuterie.
