Luscious ripe peach and apricot flavours dance alongside honeycomb sweetness in this Saint & Scholar Masters Series Chardonnay 2022, a small-batch barrel-fermented beauty from the prestigious Adelaide Hills estate rated 94 points by The Vintage Journal. Winemakers Stephen Dew and Tim Dolan crafted this luxurious expression using minimal intervention techniques, whole bunch pressing and wild yeast fermentation to create a wine that shows sophistication and elegance worthy of the Masters tier. Pale lemon with a translucent hue, this medium-bodied white radiates perfume and generosity.

Delicate nuances of oatmeal and almond add lushness and complexity to the mid palate, where creamy fruit character creates wonderful textural elements. Beautifully perfumed, sweet and floral with white peach dominating, the palate delivers pear, stone fruit and nougat set against skeletal acidity that ensures the wine stays focused and fresh. A tiny hint of flint and a long, lingering citrus acid finish complete this barrel-fermented Adelaide Hills Chardonnay that showcases cool-climate winemaking at its finest.

This sophisticated white partners beautifully with creamy chicken dishes, lobster or grilled fish where its textural richness complements the food without overwhelming. Try it with roast pork, rich seafood pasta or aged hard cheeses – the balanced acidity cuts through fatty preparations while the nutty complexity elevates richer flavours brilliantly.
