De Bortoli FS Chardonnay 750mL

De Bortoli FS Chardonnay offers juicy stonefruit flavours including peach and nectarine, balanced by crisp apple and lemon notes. Partial oak maturation adds subtle creamy butterscotch and cashew complexity, while natural acidity keeps the wine fresh and vibrant. The palate is medium-bodied with a clean, minerally finish that shows good length for an everyday Chardonnay.

This Chardonnay is produced by De Bortoli in the Riverina region of New South Wales, Australia. The De Bortoli family, originally from Treviso in Italy, established their Australian winemaking operation after World War I. The Riverina region provides ideal conditions for growing Chardonnay with balanced fruit profiles and natural acidity.

De Bortoli FS Chardonnay pairs beautifully with roast chicken, grilled seafood including snapper or salmon, and creamy pasta dishes such as fettuccine alfredo or carbonara. The wine's stonefruit character and balanced acidity also complement mild cheeses, making it versatile for casual entertaining and weeknight dinners.

This Chardonnay's fresh acidity and subtle oak influence make it particularly suited to creamy or buttery preparations. Try it with chicken in cream sauce, seafood risotto, pan-fried fish with lemon butter, or cheese-based dishes. The wine's medium body and stonefruit flavours won't overpower lighter proteins while providing enough weight for richer preparations.

Serve De Bortoli FS Chardonnay chilled between 8-10u00b0C to highlight its fresh fruit aromatics and crisp acidity. Remove the wine from the fridge about 10 minutes before serving if it's been stored at standard refrigerator temperature. Use a standard white wine glass to allow the stonefruit and floral aromas to develop, and no decanting is necessary for this style.
