From Brokenwood Wines in Australia's McLaren Vale, the Indigo Vineyard Chardonnay 2023 is a refined 100% Chardonnay sourced from the 3.5-hectare Indigo Vineyard planted in 1994 on deep sandy loam over limestone soils that impart freshness and elegance. Hand-harvested grapes from the cool, balanced 2023 vintage—characterized by moderate conditions yielding concentrated yet vibrant fruit—undergo whole-bunch pressing, fermentation in French oak barrels (30% new), and 10 months' lees aging with bâtonnage to enhance texture and complexity. Committed to sustainable practices, this production yields a pale straw wine with green highlights and poised vibrancy.
Tasting Notes An elegant, refined white with vibrant citrus and subtle stone fruit, reflecting McLaren Vale's coastal terroir. The nose reveals lemon zest, white peach, jasmine, and hints of flint and nougat. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and focused, with bright acidity, creamy lees-derived texture, and flavors of green apple, citrus pith, and subtle spice, leading to a long, mineral-laced finish.
Awards and Accolades The 2023 Indigo Vineyard Chardonnay earned 94 points from Halliday Wine Companion for its precise fruit and refined structure.
Serving and Cellaring Serve at 10-12°C with 20-30 minutes of chilling to accentuate aromas. Ideal as an aperitif or paired with seafood, white meats, or creamy cheeses. Enjoy now through 2033, during which it will develop enhanced nutty and honeyed layers.
