Chardonnay
Overview
Family is everything, and this brand links Salvatore Trimboli's Italian winemaking heritage with Australia’s Indigenous culture through Salvatore’s nephew (by marriage), a talented artist. Unlike many other ‘Aboriginal’ designs, the Two Cultures label is a legitimate artwork produced by an Aboriginal artist.
Colour
Light straw with a green tinge.
Aroma
Deeply fragrant stone fruits, with rich and complex buttery notes.
Taste
Flavours of white peach and nectarine stone fruits are intensified by creamy malolactic fermentation from well-balanced oak, resulting in a beautifully balanced wine with excellent length.
Enjoy with
Fish, shellfish, poultry, and pork. The oak notes of the wine are a great match with grilled or smoked fish or poultry. Vegans and vegetarians should try with rich pumpkin dishes or those with caramelised onion, and salads with toasted nuts and seeds.
