Marions Chardonnay 2022 from Marion’s Vineyard in Tasmania’s Tamar Valley is a refined, cool‑climate expression – pale straw with green glints, it feels like a fresh sea breeze meeting a citrus orchard, at once pure, polished and quietly luxurious in the glass. This Marion’s Chardonnay 2022 captures that northern Tasmanian precision, offering a beautifully balanced, food‑friendly style that still has serious cellar potential.

On the nose, it offers white peach, lemon curd and grapefruit zest, layered with hazelnut, flint and a gentle vanilla lift from quality French oak. The palate is finely textured and mealy, with citrus and stone fruit riding on taut, saline‑edged acidity and a mineral spine that drives impressive length. Subtle lees work adds a creamy nuance without weighing the wine down, keeping everything bright, focused and effortlessly drinkable.

Marions Chardonnay 2022 is in its element alongside Tasmanian crayfish, pan‑seared scallops or classic roast chicken with lemon and thyme, where its citrus and nutty notes really shine. It also plays beautifully with grilled zucchini and pecorino salad, creamy seafood pasta or soft‑rind cheeses, matching richness with freshness. Drink now for energy and vibrancy, or cellar 6–8 years for deeper nutty, honeyed complexity if you enjoy more developed Chardonnay characters.
