Wine Description
Padthaway's cool-climate suits the production of high-quality Traditional Method, vintage, sparkling wines.
Pure Chardonnay with a crystalline vein of freshness. Dry, refreshing and invigorating.
Made with estate-grown Chardonnay, pressed through the estate's unique-to-Australia Coquard-type press for the ultra fine juice it gives. Over 24 months en tirage balances complexity with freshness. Great to enjoy as an aperitif and has sufficient intensity of flavours to match with seafood such as the local crayfish.
