Dominique Portet Fontaine Chardonnay 2018 750ml

Dominique Portet Fontaine Chardonnay 2018 is a vibrant and elegant cool-climate Chardonnay from the renowned Yarra Valley. Crafted by Dominique Portet Winery, a family-owned estate with ten generations of French winemaking heritage, this wine reflects a modern Australian style that emphasises purity of fruit, freshness, and subtle oak influence.

The 2018 vintage offers a beautifully balanced expression with ripe orchard fruits, bright citrus, and a gentle creaminess derived from partial fermentation and maturation in French oak. Light to medium-bodied with lively acidity, it is an approachable Chardonnay that is equally enjoyable on its own or paired with a variety of dishes.
