Mayfield 'Eighteen Fifteen' Chardonnay

Mayfield ‘Eighteen Fifteen’ Chardonnay 2023 is a layered, cool-climate Orange white, combining concentrated stone fruit with flinty complexity and a creamy, finely structured palate. It balances richness with refreshing acidity, delivering a generous Chardonnay that retains precision and length.

Peach and nectarine aromas mingle with struck match, toasted nuts and delicate vanilla. The palate unfolds with citrus, pastry and ginger-biscuit spice, supported by a creamy texture from lees stirring and full malolactic fermentation. Tangy green apple acidity brings definition to the finish, providing a lively counterpoint to the wine’s savoury richness.

Suggested pairings include pan-seared scallops, roast chicken with lemon and thyme or crab linguine. Its rounded texture would complement butter-based sauces, while its citrus freshness makes mushroom risotto another appealing match.
