PepperGreen Estate Chardonnay Unoaked Single Vineyard

PepperGreen Estate Chardonnay Unoaked Single Vineyard 2021 from the cool‑climate Southern Highlands is a fresh, clean, fruit‑driven chardonnay that swaps oak richness for blossom aromatics and crisp lime‑edged refreshment.

It shows a pale straw colour with enticing fruit blossom aromas on the nose, giving a gentle, floral lift rather than butter or toast. The palate is medium‑bodied and refreshing, with a delicate lime character that brings zesty drive and a crisp, dry finish – a leaner, unoaked style that still feels satisfying thanks to the single‑vineyard concentration.

As an Adelaide‑based sommelier, I’d pour PepperGreen Estate Chardonnay Unoaked Single Vineyard 2021 with grilled fish, oysters, salads or light chicken dishes, where its blossom perfume and limey acidity can cut through and brighten the plate. It’s also a smart option for sushi and soft cheeses when you want chardonnay flavour without any oak heaviness.
