Victoria is first among equals when it comes to Aussie Chardonnay. This Burgundian grape was planted in Australia almost 200 years ago and its modern renaissance in the shape of a multitude of fresh and oaked styles keeps Australia firmly ahead as a Chardonnay master. And here in Victoria, Chinkara makes an opulent, barrel aged style that matches and elevates the experience of enjoying spicy Indian food. That was the express purpose of establishing Chinkara in in 2002 and the winery has grown from strength to strength, reflected in the finesse and elegant fruity character of this gourmet Chardonnay. Victoria?s cool climes and granite and clay soils yield Chardonnay fruit in bright element with nicely evolved stone fruit flavours and lively acidity, mellowed by oak ageing which imparts of a buttery veneer, pairing well with a range of Indian curries and gravies.
