Penfolds Max's Chardonnay 2022
This vibrant and complex white wine originates from Australia, specifically from the premier cool-climate Adelaide Hills subregion in South Australia. Penfolds Max's Chardonnay is a tribute to former Chief Winemaker Max Schubert (1948–1975), an iconic figure in the winery's history whose constant pursuit of excellence revolutionized Australian winemaking. The winery's philosophy for this label is to provide a contemporary expression of Chardonnay that balances elegant fruit with the textural, nutty complexity derived from careful oak management and lees contact.
Wine Description
Penfolds Max's Chardonnay presents a brilliant light straw appearance. The sensory profile is notably perfumed and aromatic, featuring a nose of yellow peach, nectarine, and citrus, layered with sophisticated notes of jasmine, white rose petals, and a hint of ginger spice. On the palate, the wine is rich and textural a result of regular yeast lees battonage during maturation showcasing flavours of white stone fruits and nougat underpinned by a tight mineral edge. It is characterized by a creamy mouthfeel, balanced by a flinty, "wet stone" acidity and a subtle crème brûlée influence from French oak. This 100% Chardonnay typically reaches an ABV of approximately 13%. While Penfolds follows high production standards, this wine is not certified organic.
