Wynns SALE: Black Label Messenger Chardonnay 2024

35% off case of 6 (applied at checkout)

2024 marks the inaugural release of a Black Label Messenger Chardonnay. The Messenger Vineyard, situated in the southern part of Coonawarra’s Terra Rossa strip, was first planted with Chardonnay in 1993. The 2024 vintage benefited from a mild to warm, dry harvest period and lower yields, creating ideal conditions for Coonawarra Chardonnay. The result is a wine that showcases true varietal expression, with depth of fruit flavour and a lovely, firm acidity. Hand-picked grapes, whole bunch pressing, barrel aging, and malolactic fermentation have contributed to a white wine with opulent, smooth textures, complexity, and brightness.

Nose: White peach, fresh pear, hazelnut flesh and nutmeg lead a perfumed aroma underpinned by well balanced, nutty oak.

Palate: Sumptuously flavoured with clean white peaches and fresh pears, its clarity and intensity reflect the exceptional 2024 season for Coonawarra Chardonnay. The wine features a complex, seamlessly integrated nutty oak, culminating in a harmonious finish with refreshing citrus acidity.
