Shortbread Chardonnay (750ml) is a delightfully decadent, unashamedly rich white wine that captures the luxurious comfort of a freshly baked batch of buttery shortbread cookies. Crafted for those who love the intensely creamy, smooth side of Chardonnay, this expression focuses entirely on maximizing mouth-coating texture and sweet oak complexity. True to its name, it delivers a velvety, plush, and incredibly indulgent profile that seamlessly blends sweet bakery flavors with ripe, sun-ripened orchard fruits.
The Secret to the Melt-In-Your-Mouth Creaminess
The hallmark of this signature Chardonnay is its meticulous winemaking process. The juice undergoes full malolactic fermentation—altering the grape's natural, sharp acidity into a softer, creamier texturing component that mimics the rich weight of real dairy butter. When coupled with extended aging on fine yeast lees (sur lie) and heavy integration with toasted American and French oak, the wine develops its iconic, cookie-like warmth and luxurious mouthfeel.
Tasting Notes
  • Aroma: An incredibly inviting nose that smells just like a warm bakery kitchen. It bursts with sweet aromas of vanilla bean paste, toasted shortbread crust, and melted butterscotch, balanced by a back-drop of ripe yellow peaches.
  • Palate: Full-bodied, lush, and exceptionally velvety on the tongue. It coats the mouth with decadent flavors of rich vanilla custard, golden honeycomb, and buttery brioche, layered with sweet tropical pineapple and juicy nectarine.
  • Finish: Long, soft, and satisfyingly warm. It closes with a comforting trail of sweet baking spices, toasted coconut, and a creamy, rounded finish that leaves you reaching for another glass.
