Domaine Simha Tasmania Rao Chardonnay 2021 (1x75cl)

Chardonnay from Tasmania sits at the tighter, more linear end of Australian white wine. The state is Australia's coolest for growing grapes, so the fruit keeps its acidity rather than going tropical and soft.

Rao is the cuvee name on the label. It suits a seafood dinner, a plate of steamed fish, or a hot evening when a red feels like too much work. Easy to bring along when you are asked to contribute a white.

Tasting notes

Cool-climate Chardonnay usually leans towards citrus, white peach and a chalky, mineral finish, with acidity that keeps it fresh. Serve chilled, not ice cold.
