PepperGreen Estate Chardonnay Single Vineyard

PepperGreen Estate Chardonnay Single Vineyard 2019 from Canyonleigh in the Southern Highlands is a refreshing, cool‑climate chardonnay that balances white‑peach fruit with gentle, nutty oak in a clean, mid‑weight style.

In the glass it’s pale yellow‑straw, with white peach and a little oak on the nose – more fine perfume and subtle toast than big, buttery richness. The palate is medium‑bodied, showing attractive white‑peach flavours and light nuttiness from oak, finishing with nicely persistent flavours that stay elegant and refreshing.

As an Adelaide‑based sommelier, I’d pair PepperGreen Estate Chardonnay Single Vineyard 2019 with roast chicken, grilled fish or creamy pasta, where its peachy fruit and gentle oak can wrap neatly around savoury flavours and texture. It’s equally at home with soft‑rind cheeses or lighter poultry dishes – a Southern Highlands chardonnay that quietly over‑delivers on poise for its price.
