Utzinger Wines is a small, organically minded estate in Tasmania's Tamar Valley, founded by Matthias and Lauren Utzinger and earning a strong following for their finely crafted cool-climate wines. The White Label is their approachable, drink-now Chardonnay, drawn from West Tamar fruit.
Whole-bunch pressed and wild-fermented in mostly seasoned oak with time on lees, it is fresh yet textured. Expect ripe yellow stone fruit and citrus, a hint of tropical fruit, with nougat, gentle spice and a flinty mineral edge. The palate is balanced and elegant, with a crisp acid line and a long, subtly oaked finish.
A versatile, easy-drinking Chardonnay, it pairs beautifully with roast chicken, seafood, creamy pasta and soft cheeses.
