FAQs

1. What makes a Chardonnay full-bodied and buttery?

Three main things: fermenting in oak barrels, letting malolactic fermentation run its course, and leaving the wine to rest on lees (yeast sediment). These steps build up creamy texture and buttery flavours. Plus, when Chardonnay grows in warmer regions like Hunter Valley or Barossa Valley, the grapes naturally ripen into richer, fleshier wines.

2. Which Australian regions produce the best full-bodied Chardonnay?

Try Hunter Valley, Margaret River, Adelaide Hills, or Yarra Valley. Each region has its own differences: Hunter Valley tends toward lush and generous Chardonnays, Adelaide Hills is a bit more refined and elegant, and Margaret River and Yarra Valley make wines with their own balance and style.

3. What is the difference between buttery and oaky Chardonnay?

The buttery notes come from malolactic fermentation, which transforms tart malic acid into softer lactic acid, adding that creamy, buttery mouthfeel. Oak, on the other hand, comes from ageing in barrels and brings out toasty, spicy or vanilla notes. The best versions balance both, so the wine feels rich and layered without being overwhelmed by either.

4. Is full-bodied Chardonnay good for cellaring?

A good full-bodied Chardonnay is perfect for cellaring. Top producers like Scarborough Wines and Elephant in the Room craft Chardonnay that only gets better after three to seven years, becoming more complex and seamlessly buttery as time goes by.
