Shepherd's Hut Valerie Ann Chardonnay

Shepherd’s Hut Valerie Ann Chardonnay 2024 is a polished cool-climate Chardonnay from Shepherd’s Hut in Western Australia’s striking Porongurup, delivering the kind of bright, detailed fruit and restrained oak that makes a proper table wine irresistible. Small-batch in feel and confidently regional, it is a classy pick for lovers of refined Australian Chardonnay.

Grapefruit and citrus open with fresh melon and ripe stone fruit, building into savoury flint, subtle funk and toasty French oak. The palate is creamy yet energetic, with a cashew-like nuttiness, fine acidity and a long, composed finish. Shepherds Hut Valerie Ann Chardonnay 2024 brings generosity without heaviness.

Pour this Porongurup Chardonnay alongside roast chicken with lemon and herbs, grilled barramundi, seared scallops or a mushroom pasta finished with parmesan. Its citrus drive cuts through richer dishes, while the supple oak and stone-fruit depth beautifully complement buttery sauces, roasted poultry and earthy autumn flavours. Chill lightly, then let it open in the glass.
