Banks Road Will’s Selection Chardonnay 2023 by Banks Road Vineyard on the Bellarine Peninsula is a small‑batch, barrel‑fermented Chardonnay that takes the estate’s classic style into a more concentrated, ageworthy zone while still feeling bright and coastal in the glass.

In the glass, Banks Road Will’s Selection Chardonnay 2023 shows ripe peach, rockmelon and nectarine layered with butterscotch, nougat, nuts and hints of citrus and cashew, echoing the Will’s Selection Chardonnay style of previous vintages. The palate is medium to full‑bodied with a creamy, mousse‑like texture, fresh acidity and a long, mineral‑lined finish that keeps the richness in check.

This Banks Road Will’s Selection Chardonnay is spot‑on with roast chicken, richer seafood dishes, grilled scallops or a buttery prawn pasta, and also works beautifully with roast pumpkin and soft cheeses. It is a great choice for Bellarine Chardonnay fans who enjoy both generosity and structure in a single‑vineyard‑style, wild‑ferment, barrel‑driven expression.
