One Chain Vineyards, The Googly Chardonnay, South Australia, 2024

Producer Profile

One Chain works with growers to source fruit from some of the most respected regions of South Eastern Australia.

They work to produce wines that are inspired by a love for one of Australia’s most cherished sports – the name ‘One Chain’ being the imperial measurement for 22 yards, or the length of a cricket pitch. Even so, you really don’t need to be a connoisseur of the game to be bowled over by the restrained, elegant style of One Chain’s Chardonnay or the bright red fruit and subtle oak of its Shiraz Cabernet.

Viticulture

Grapes are harvested by machine in the cool of the night from vineyard sites across South Australia.

Winemaking

Fruit is harvested at night when it is cooler, then immediately transported to the winery to be de-juiced, ensuring minimal skin contact occurs. Every effort is taken to reduce phenolic extraction from the skins, minimising the need for fining. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. The wine is bottled within a couple of months of completing fermentation to be enjoyed young.

Tasting Note

This Chardonnay is sourced from cooler climate vineyards to give a delicious, tangy white wine. Crisp, lively and bright, this citrus scented Chardonnay is well balanced, with vibrant tropical fruit and melon on the palate with hints of green apple and pear. A succulent, juicy palate with broad, ripe pear and citrus.

Food Matching

Best served cold with grilled chicken, summer salads or shellfish.
