The Normans Holbrooks Road Chardonnay 2026 Dozen showcases the vibrant fruit purity and exceptional value that have made Normans Wines one of Australia's most enduring winemaking names since its establishment in 1853. Produced by this iconic South Australian winery, the 2026 vintage continues the tradition of crafting fresh, approachable Chardonnay with outstanding flavour and balance, making it an ideal choice for everyday enjoyment or entertaining. Pale straw with delicate green hues, the wine opens with lifted aromas of tropical fruits, ripe peach, mango and citrus blossom. The palate is bright, fresh and fruit-driven, revealing generous layers of ripe peach, juicy mango and citrus zest, complemented by subtle creaminess and gentle savoury complexity developed through extended lees stirring. Crisp natural acidity provides freshness and balance, leading to a clean, refreshing finish that lingers beautifully. Continuing the strong pedigree of previous releases, the earlier vintage earned 91 Points from Russell Gallagher of Vinomasters and was recognised as an Award Winner at the Royal Adelaide Wine Show. Produced by the iconic Normans Wines, established in 1853, this Chardonnay delivers exceptional quality and remarkable value from one of Australia's oldest and most respected wineries. Perfect alongside grilled seafood, roast chicken, creamy pasta dishes, fresh salads or soft cheeses, the Normans Holbrooks Road Chardonnay 2026 Dozen is a versatile crowd-pleaser that is equally suited to casual lunches, family dinners or stocking the wine rack.
