Battle of Bosworth Chardonnay 2024: Tasting Notes

WINE STYLE → Gently oaked & modern

A classic McLaren Vale Chardonnay with a quietly luxe edge. The Battle of Bosworth Chardonnay 2024 opens with nougat, cashew and white-peach perfume, then settles into gentle tropical and stonefruit flavour framed by toasty, well-judged oak. What keeps it feeling polished (not heavy) is the fine, convincing natural acidity that carries the finish.

Highlights

• Certified Organic; vegan suitable
• Nougat, cashew and peach aromatics (winery tasting notes)
• Toasty oak frame with gentle tropical & stonefruit flavour
• Fine, natural acidity for balance and length

Taste Profile

Tasting Notes

Nougat and cashew lead, followed by ripe white peach and a soft flicker of tropical fruit. The palate is medium-bodied and smooth, with oak sitting as a warm, savoury frame rather than a loud flavour. It finishes clean and dry, lifted by delicate acidity.

Winemaking

The winery notes highlight oak characters used to frame (not dominate) the fruit, with a focus on balance and natural acidity through the finish.
