Chain of Fire Chardonnay 2024 is a crisp, balanced, and refreshing white wine born from the volcanic soils that have shaped some of Australia’s most celebrated wine-growing regions over many millennia. “Chain of Fire” is the experts’ term for a series of extinct volcanoes whose rich volcanic soils create ideal conditions for the growth of high-quality grapes — and it is this remarkable terroir that gives Chain of Fire its distinctive character. Notes of stone fruit with hints of citrus and peach, a smooth and long finish, and a label featuring a blacksmith in tribute to Vulcan, the Roman God of Volcanoes — a supremely skilled artisan whose metal-working forge was a volcano. Terroir with a story. Chardonnay with character.
