The 2024 release from winemaker Samantha Connew balances fruit generosity with a fine saline edge, reflecting both her meticulous craft and the strength of the vintage. Fruit is sourced from the Coal River Valley, including Connew’s south-facing Chardonnay block planted in 2017, as well as trusted growers in the Upper Derwent and Richmond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand-picked fruit was whole-bunch pressed and wild fermented in French oak puncheons, 20% new, with full malolactic fermentation but no lees stirring. The wine then spent eight months in barrel before settling in tank and bottling. The result is a Chardonnay that layers stone fruit and citrus brightness with subtle oak complexity, finishing long and mineral.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!--StartFragment --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pf0\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!--EndFragment --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Citrus \u0026amp; stonefruit\u003cbr\u003eAromas of lemon peel and white peach, with oak notes of cashew, custard and vanilla bean, alongside flinty minerality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Balanced \u0026amp; textural\u003cbr\u003eGenerous peach and stonefruit flavours supported by cashew and pastry tones, lifted by a subtle saline drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Fresh \u0026amp; persistent\u003cbr\u003eBright acidity carries stonefruit, almonds, flint and a touch of brininess through a long finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFiner Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStyle - White Wine\u003cbr\u003eVarietal - Chardonnay\u003cbr\u003eCountry - Australia\u003cbr\u003eRegion - Coal River Valley, Tasmania\u003cbr\u003eVintage - 2024\u003cbr\u003eBottle Size - 750ml\u003cbr\u003eABV - 12.5%\u003cbr\u003eClosure - Screw cap\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stargazer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42019127820375,"sku":"STGCH-24","price":68.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/files\/d0d6fbc8-992e-4790-84c3-ac80525db950.jpg?v=1759895299","url":"https:\/\/kentstreetcellars.com.au\/products\/stargazer-chardonnay-2024","provider":"Kent Street Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
