From a single vineyard in the Blewitt Springs subregion of McLaren Vale, the Crown & Anchor Buttery McLaren Vale Chardonnay 2024 is a luxurious, full-flavoured white that captures the opulence and power of traditional barrel-aged Chardonnay. The fruit was gently pressed and underwent malolactic fermentation in oak with daily lees stirring to develop richness and texture. Additional aging in oak before bottling has created a seamless integration between fruit and barrel, preserving vibrancy while enhancing depth.
Brimming with ripe stone fruit and fresh lemon, this Chardonnay offers a rich and creamy palate that finishes long with beautifully melted butter and vanilla tones. The result is a bold yet balanced wine that showcases the craftsmanship behind its creation. Awarded 96 points and a gold medal by Wine Showcase Magazine, and 94 points with 5 stars by Sam Kim of Wine Orbit, this is a standout expression of McLaren Vale Chardonnay, combining structure and indulgence in perfect harmony.
Enjoy the Crown & Anchor Buttery Chardonnay 2024 with lobster thermidor, roast chicken in cream sauce, scallop risotto, or truffled potato gratin for a match as decadent as the wine itself.
96 Point Rated - Australian Wine Showcase Magazine
"Beautiful vibrant nose with toast, cashews and zesty melon. The palate is stylish, elegant, rich with lovely varietal flavours and a lovely creamy texture."
94 Point Rated & 5 Stars - Sam Kim Wine Orbit
"Wonderfully fruited and inviting on the nose, showing apricot, rockmelon, vanillin oak and brioche characters, followed by a richly flavoursome palate delivering fine texture backed by bright acidity, finishing long and expansive. At its best: now to 2030. $90.00."
