The Shy Pig Chardonnay 2024

The Shy Pig Chardonnay is a bright, fruit-forward Australian Chardonnay with plenty of easygoing charm. Fresh yellow peach and melon lead the way, joined by a light citrus lift and a clean thread of acidity that keeps the palate lively rather than heavy. Made from South Eastern Australian fruit and matured without oak in stainless steel, it is a crisp, approachable style built for uncomplicated enjoyment. Serve it well chilled with grilled chicken, fish tacos or a sunny afternoon that calls for something refreshingly unfussy.

What the winery says:

The 2024 Chardonnay is straw yellow with slight green hues, showing aromas of melon and peach with hints of citrus. Fresh-cut yellow peach and melon flavours carry a gentle fruit sweetness, balanced by a clean acid backbone. The fruit was crushed and de-stemmed before cool fermentation at 14 to 16°C for 10 to 14 days, helping preserve its varietal character. After fermentation, the wine was matured in stainless steel, then blended, stabilised and clarified. Alcohol is 12.5%.
