Mulline Sutherlands Creek Chardonnay 2024 750ml

Single vineyard Geelong Chardonnay - white peach, flint, oyster shell minerality and serious length. Mulline Sutherlands Creek Chardonnay 2024 is a bold-but-precise single vineyard Chardonnay from the Moorabool Valley (Geelong), built on ripe stone fruit, smoky flint detail and a distinctly saline, mineral line. Wild fermented with full solids and shaped by thoughtful oak, it’s a confident modern Australian Chardonnay with real structure and cellar potential.  Tasting Notes Aroma: Pure white peach, pressed flowers and gentle vanillin, with flecks of flint and oyster shell lift.  Palate: White nectarine and grilled citrus layered over crushed rocks, struck match nuance and a creamy, mineral core; textured and beautifully balanced.  Finish: Pithy and persistent citrus rind, nutty oak and chalky structure with excellent drive.  Food Pairing / Serving Suggestions Smashes with roast chicken, grilled fish, butter poached prawns, creamy mushroom pasta, corn & haloumi, or soft rind cheeses. About the Winery / Producer / Region Mulline Vintners (Ben Mullen & Ben Hine) is Geelong-focused, making site driven wines that lean into detail, freshness and regional expression. This bottling comes from the Strathmore Vineyard on Muhlebach Road, Sutherlands Creek, planted in 1998, with grey/brown loams over fragmented granite, a key reason the wine shows that flinty, saline edge. Cellaring Potential Already humming, but the structure suggests it will gain extra nutty/complex layers over 5 to 7 years, drink now to 2031.  Details Producer: Mulline Vintners Vintage: 2024 Variety: Chardonnay (Clone P58) Region: Moorabool Valley, Geelong, Victoria Vineyard: Strathmore Vineyard, Sutherlands Creek (planted 1998) Winemaking: Natural ferment, full solids; matured in French/Austrian oak with 25% new.
