A Rodda Willow Lake Chard 2024

A. Rodda Willow Lake Chardonnay 2024 is a poised and finely tuned expression of Yarra Valley fruit, combining elegance with quiet intensity. Aromas of spiced white nectarine, peach and grapefruit are layered with nougat, hazelnut and finely integrated toasty oak.

The palate is svelte yet tightly coiled, balancing silky texture with fresh, nervy acidity. Citrus and white stone fruit flow through the core, supported by subtle savoury oak influence and a saline, spice-tinged edge.

Engaging now but built with structure, this Chardonnay works beautifully with roast chicken, grilled fish or creamy pasta dishes, and will reward short to medium-term cellaring.
