Many Sterling customers have become restless in their search for an honest, high quality, current release Chardonnay that wasn’t going to break the bank.
You know… not too big, lots of elegance, delicate but assertive etc etc

Legendry Chard Meister, Bob Cartwright made this wine. Great work with great fruit!
(For anybody out there who doesn’t know, Bob is the guy who created over 25 vintages of Leeuwin Art Series Chardonnay, and in the process made half of all the best Chardonnays ever produced in Australia)

You are going to hear a lot more of this producer in the future, especially with the Chardonnay.

If you are into gongs, this wine, when it was still an pup, was rated 4 stars by Winestate magazine and pulled off a silver at the Sheraton Wine Awards.
