Barrel-aged, Maxwell’s Adelaide Hills Chardonnay is known for its complex flavours, often with notes of oak, vanilla and butter, making it a great accompaniment to a variety of dishes. <\/p>\n
The rich, buttery character of Chardonnay goes well with creamy pasta dishes such as fettuccine Alfredo or carbonara. The acidity of the wine can break through the richness of the sauce. The aromas of the wine also complement the subtle flavours of roasted chicken, and the acidity can balance the fat of the dish. <\/p>\n
This Australian Chardonnay also goes well with seafood, especially dishes like buttery lobster or scampi with prawns. It also does well with richer fish such as salmon. The earthy flavours of mushrooms in a creamy risotto can harmonise with the wine’s oak and buttery notes. <\/p>\n
Pork dishes, especially those served with creamy sauces, can be a great match for the white wine from Australia. Think pork chops with Dijon cream sauce or pork tenderloin with a mushroom cream sauce. Buttery dishes such as chicken in beurre blanc sauce or escargots can be complemented by the wine’s buttery qualities. <\/p>\n
Brie, Camembert or triple cream cheeses are delicious accompaniments as they reflect the creamy texture of the wine. The wine’s buttery and toasty notes go perfectly with grilled corn with a touch of butter and spices. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

The Maxwell Adelaide Hills Chardonnay comes from Maxwell’s neighborhood. The Adelaide Hills wine region borders the McLaren Vale and is home to many of Australia’s best white wines, including those made from the Chardonnay grape variety. These hills provide elevated and cooler sites for viticulture, producing wines with good natural acidity, structure and elegance. The 2021 vintage of this Australian white wine was of very high quality. After the harvest, the must was cooled, settled and fermented with yeast added in stainless steel tanks. As soon as the fermentation activity subsided after a few days, the wine was transferred to barrels to stop the fermentation. During the next 8 months, the lees, or more precisely the fine yeast, were stirred once a week in order to soften and cream the wine and thus improve the mouthfeel. This technique is called “batonnage”. The wine was aged for a total of 12 months in French oak barriques. <\/p>\n

The Adelaide Hills Chardonnay from Maxwell Wines exudes delicate aromas of peach, nectarine and yellow apple, accompanied by floral tones and a hint of vanilla. Stirring the lees has improved the texture and mouthfeel and increased the complexity of this Chardonnay. On the palate, the creamy white wine from Australia shows plenty of fruit and skilful use of wood. Wonderfully layered flavours of nectarine, yellow apple, ripe pear and white peach. A fine and balanced Chardonnay, with a long finish that captures the essence of its cool climate origins. It is made for immediate enjoyment, but also has development potential for another five years. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":15796,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"wprm-recipe-roundup-name":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-description":"","_members_access_role":[],"_members_access_error":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[4148,3866,3872,4137,4139,4142,4146,4147,3845,4149,4161,4163,4165,4174,4175,4557,4593,4594,3843],"product_tag":[3926,3937,3969,4047,4048,4128,4130,4564,4682,4697,4700],"class_list":["post-15793","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-white-varieties","product_cat-wine-type","product_cat-white-wines","product_cat-wine-style","product_cat-fruity-fresh","product_cat-clear-mineral","product_cat-spicy-racy","product_cat-velvety-round","product_cat-wines","product_cat-chardonnay-en","product_cat-wine-origin","product_cat-australia","product_cat-adelaide-hills-en","product_cat-mclaren-vale-en","product_cat-maxwell-wines-en","product_cat-wines-and-food","product_cat-barbecue-wines","product_cat-wine","product_cat-promotional-wines","product_tag-adelaide-hills-en","product_tag-australia","product_tag-chardonnay-en","product_tag-maxwell-wines-en","product_tag-mclaren-vale-en","product_tag-wines","product_tag-white-wines","product_tag-mildly-seasoned-chicken","product_tag-fish-meaty","product_tag-lobster","product_tag-fish-medium-firm","pa_alkoholgehalt-12-5-en","pa_allergenhinweis-contains-sulphites","pa_anbau-bewirtschaftung-conventional","pa_ausbau-in-barrique-barrel","pa_dekantieren-empfohlen-no","pa_empfohlenes-glas-chardonnay-glass","pa_geschmack-dry","pa_jahrgang-2021-en","pa_lebensmittelunternehmer-wine-in-motion-gmbh-kellerweg-4-84494-neumarkt-sankt-veit-deutschland-en","pa_nettofuellmenge-0-75-en","pa_rebsorten-chardonnay-en","pa_reifepotential-until-2028","pa_restzucker-1-6-en","pa_saeure-6-7-en","pa_trinkreife-from-now","pa_trinktemperatur-8-10-en","pa_vegan-produziert-no","pa_verpackungseinheit-6-en","pa_verschlussart-screw-cap","pa_weingut-maxwell-wines-en","pa_weinland-australia","pa_weinregion-adelaide-hills-en","pa_weinstil-fruity-fresh","pa_weinstil-clear-mineral","pa_weinstil-spicy-racy","pa_weintyp-white-wine","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"yoast_head":"\n
