Dominique Portet Fontaine Chardonnay 2024

Sourced from mature vines in Gladysdale, in the cooler, elevated reaches of the southern Yarra Valley, this Chardonnay is all about balance and drinkability. High altitude and red volcanic soils help retain natural acidity while delivering refined citrus and stone fruit character.

Fermented in French oak with 15% new barrels and aged on lees for eight months, the 2024 shows lemon curd, white peach and gentle almond notes, with a soft, creamy texture that never overshadows freshness. Bright, composed and quietly generous, it’s a versatile Chardonnay that hits the sweet spot between purity and polish.
