Chardonnay gets a bad rap but not this one. Handpicked Selection’s Chardonnay is a quiet revolution in a glass: balanced, textured, and surprisingly elegant. It’s the kind of white that shifts perceptions. Creamy yet crisp, with enough personality to turn casual sipping into a full on experience.

Handpicked Selection Chardonnay 75cl
Brand: Handpicked Wines | Category: White Wine – Chardonnay | ABV: 13% | Origin: Australia | Vol: 750ml

Tasting Profile
Nose: Like peeling a ripe pear in a sunny kitchen, orchard fruits meet toasted almond and a hint of vanilla.
Palate: Medium bodied and beautifully layered, think baked apple, citrus curd, and a subtle touch of oak. There's a creamy mouthfeel balanced by a bright acidity that keeps things fresh.
Finish: Silky and refined, with lingering notes of lemon zest and soft spice that gently fade but leave their mark.

Production Details
Sourced from cool climate vineyards, the grapes are gently pressed and partially aged in French oak barrels. This gives structure without overpowering the fruit, a modern take on classic Chardonnay, done right.

Perfect For
Cozy dinner parties, crab linguine, or a long overdue catch up over lunch. This is a white that bridges crisp refreshment and comfort-food soul.

Expert Notes
Handpicked’s Chardonnay stands out for its restraint and poise. Awarded praise in Australia and beyond, it’s proof that when done with care, Chardonnay is anything but basic, it’s bold, polished, and full of charm.

Interesting Fact

Serving Suggestions
Serve slightly chilled (10–12°C). Let it warm just a touch in the glass to unlock those creamy, toasty layers. Pairs beautifully with roasted chicken, buttery seafood, or triple-cream cheese.
