Penfolds Max's Chardonnay is a quality Australian wine, hailing from the Adelaide Hills region. Its golden hue leads to a bouquet bursting with ripe peach and melon notes, complemented by a delicate undertone of oak. On the palate, it offers a harmonious blend of crisp acidity and luscious fruit nuances, culminating in a creamy, lasting finish. A true embodiment of the winemaker's proficiency, it is a refreshing and elegant white wine that marries both depth and complexity with sheer drinkability. Perfect for pairing with a variety of dishes or sipping on its own.

Tasting Notes

Nose - Subtle stone fruits, yellow peach, nectarine and faint wafts of citrus are foremost. Upon further swirling, hints of floral notes shine through, Jasmine and white rose petal perfume, and a touch of Ginger spice. Oak is present but in balance and offering a nutty/ nougat nuance. Palate - Fresh flavours of stone fruit, citrus and grapefruit pith. Creamy, crème brulee-like French oak lingers with a lovely flinty, wet stone/chalky acid line, closing out with an intriguing waxy phenolic finish.
