Chardonnay

Complex aromas of lemon and apple with subtle lees influence, creamy mid-palate and impressive structure.

The Penfolds Cellar Reserve Chardonnay has been labelled under the Adelaide appellation, named after South Australia's capital city. This area encompasses the surrounding winegrowing regions, including the Mount Lofty Ranges - one of Australia's leading high-altitude, cool-climate chardonnay regions.

For the 2007 Penfolds Cellar Reserve Chardonnay, fruit was sourced from the Adelaide Hills region in the Mount Lofty Ranges- predominantly from the Piccadilly Valley, which is known for producing grapes with fruit intensity, natural acidity and balance. As a result, this chardonnay enjoys complex aromas of lemon and apple with subtle lees influence and impressive structure.

Penfolds Chief Winemaker, Peter Gago, describes the wine: “Pale straw with a faint green hue. Complex aromas of fragrant lemon and Granny Smith apple fruit are framed by subtle lees influence. An impressively structured wine, with an unblemished purity of fruit that lingers and lingers on the finish. A creamy mid-palate completes the wine while augmenting its finely fruited expression.”
