Mount Avoca Moates Lane Chardonnay 2021 from Victoria’s Pyrenees is a clear, bright, pale‑lemon beauty that screams modern, fresh Chardonnay, with enough flavour and texture to keep both casual drinkers and chardy fans very happy. This Mount Avoca ‘Moates Lane’ Chardonnay 2021 nails that juicy‑but‑polished bistro style.

You’ll find rich, clean aromas of honeydew melon, quince and subtle toasty hazelnut on the nose. The palate is medium‑bodied and nicely rounded, with pears and ripe grapefruit intertwined with a soft French‑toast character and a moderate finish of toasty soft lemon meringue for a really moreish, food‑friendly finish.

This is a cracking white with cheese and nibbles, but it’ll also sit happily alongside roast chicken, creamy pasta, grilled fish or a herby veggie bake. Chill it properly, pour generously and let that Moates Lane Chardonnay 2021 show just how versatile Pyrenees Chardonnay can be at the table.
