Jack Rabbit Chardonnay 2024 from Jack Rabbit Vineyard on Victoria’s Bellarine Peninsula is a modern, cool‑climate chardonnay with serious pedigree, crowned Best Wine in Show and Best Chardonnay at the 2025 Geelong Wine Show – a huge nod to its class and regional character. This Jack Rabbit Chardonnay 2024 walks that tightrope between finesse and flavour beautifully.

In the glass, expect white peach, nectarine and citrus layered with tart apple and fine, integrated French oak, giving hints of vanilla, nougat and light toast. Partial malolactic brings subtle burnt‑butter and cream notes without heaviness, while a line of driving mineral acidity keeps the palate fresh, long and impeccably balanced. It’s medium‑bodied, vibrant, racy and refined.

Food‑wise, Jack Rabbit Chardonnay 2024 is tailor‑made for roast chicken with lemon and herbs, richer seafood like scallops or salmon, creamy pasta, mushroom risotto and washed‑rind or soft rind cheeses. It has the structure to reward a few years in the cellar, but is already singing now if you like your chardonnay layered, cool‑climate and seriously classy.
