Rouleur Chardonnay 2024

There is a pleasing lack of drama to the way Rouleur makes Chardonnay. Cool Yarra Valley fruit is barrel fermented and rested on lees, with oak and texture used as supporting players rather than shortcuts to richness.

White peach, citrus and green apple keep the wine lively. Almond and subtle toast round out the middle, before a fine mineral line tidies the finish. It is calm, balanced Chardonnay: neither lean nor buttery, and all the better for refusing to choose either extreme
