2022 Morambro Creek Chardonnay Estate Grown Padthaway 750ML

White Wine from South Australia, Australia

I love Padthaway Chardonnay; The barrel-fermented 2015 Chardonnay offers a lovely blend of oak and fruit, balancing each other out in their citrus and vanilla intensities. Toasted grain, white peach, ample weight and texture on the palate, all these point to a high-quality effort that should please any Chardonnay drinker. Yum!

Deep straw in colour. Concentrated citrus and white peach fruit flavours are complimented by delicate yeast and subtle spice aromas. The palate is clean and fresh with vibrant fruit flavours, mineral characters and a good lingering finish.

The property was founded in 1994 by the Bryson Family who first settled in the Padthaway region in 1955. In the early 1990’s the Brysons decided to take the plunge and plant vines on the property. Initially their plan was to sell these grapes to the big wine producers but after a few vintages, the desire to see the fruits of their labour turned into their own wine, was just too great for them to resist. In 1998 they held onto a small selection of their fruits and sent it to the Cape Jaffa Winery to be made into wine. Morambro Creek was born, the name coming from the creek that meanders through the property.
