Wirra Wirra The 12th Man Chardonnay 2024
An Adelaide Hills classic, reimagined for a fresh vintage. Wirra Wirra’s The 12th Man Chardonnay takes its name from the long tradition of cricketing camaraderie, but in the glass, it’s all serious quality and cool-climate finesse.
Sourced from high-altitude vineyards across the Hills, the 2024 release shows off everything we love about modern Australian Chardonnay. It’s bright, pure and finely textured, with notes of white peach, nectarine and lemon curd, layered with hints of roasted cashew, struck match and gentle French oak. Natural acidity brings drive and length, while a touch of creamy lees character adds extra depth and savoury complexity.
Elegant yet approachable, this is the kind of Chardonnay that’s equally at home with a dozen oysters, a roast chook or a bowl of creamy pasta.
