Pirramimma Heritage Limited Edition Chardonnay 2024

Pirramimma Heritage Chardonnay is an elegant white wine from the historic McLaren Vale region of South Australia. Established in 1892 by Alexander Campbell Johnston, Pirramimma remains a family-owned estate currently managed by fourth-generation winemakers who prioritize sustainable practices and 'estate grown' fruit. The winery's name, an Aboriginal phrase meaning 'the moon and the stars', reflects a deep connection to the land and a winemaking philosophy that balances century-old traditions with modern, clean techniques.

Wine Description

The Heritage Chardonnay presents a gleaming yellow colour in the glass. The aromatic profile is complex and inviting, featuring a bouquet of honeydew melon, ripe peach, and apple, accented by subtle notes of toasted French oak. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and well-textured, delivering vibrant fruit intensity of passion fruit and pineapple balanced by a pleasing creamy texture from lees stirring. Fine acidity provides structure and freshness, leading to a long, satisfying finish with hints of cashew and nutty spice. This wine is crafted for immediate enjoyment but will continue to improve over the next four to five years.
