Winery Background
Temple Bruer has been a pioneer of organic winemaking in Australia since the 1970s. With a philosophy built on sustainability, vegan-friendly practices, and preservative-free production, they are known for crafting wines that are both pure and expressive.
Vineyards and Vintage Conditions
Fruit for this Chardonnay was sourced from Temple Bruer’s Riverland vineyards. The region’s warm, sunny climate produces grapes with ripe tropical flavours, while cool nights help preserve natural acidity. The 2021 vintage was well-balanced, giving fruit with vibrancy and freshness.
Winemaking Process
Certified organic and preservative-free, this Chardonnay was made with minimal intervention. Cool fermentation helped retain fruit purity, while gentle lees contact added texture and complexity without overshadowing freshness.
Tasting Notes

Food Pairing
A versatile white that pairs beautifully with roast chicken, grilled seafood, creamy pasta dishes, or soft cheeses.
Story Behind the Wine
