19 Crimes Hard Chard (Chardonnay)

19 Crimes Hard Chard is a medium-full bodied Chardonnay from Australia's Barossa Valley, showcasing the region's warm-climate fruit character. The wine opens with vibrant green apple and citrus aromatics, followed by a palate of ripe stone fruit balanced by creamy butter and toasted oak. Secondary vanilla and hazelnut notes add complexity, while a subtle minerality on the finish provides freshness and structure. This is a food-friendly expression suited to rich poultry dishes, shellfish preparations, and cream-based sauces.
