Yarra Valley's Oakridge winery offers many tiers of wine, their 'Over The Shoulder' range are tremendous value, and the 2018 Chardonnay certainly lives up to the standard. Bringing fresh stone fruit aromas, to a delectable balanced palate with hints of citrus notes and a touch of spice. With a medium finish this wine accompanies soft cheese, and scallops perfectly.
Reviews
"Oakridge chardonnay, across the range, is as reliable as the summer is long.
This is a good drink, full stop. It’s fresh, lively, just-flavoured-enough and just-textured-enough. Stonefruits, citrus and spice. Fresh chardonnay flavour all the way through the mouth."

Oakridge Wines has been capturing the spirit of the Yarra Valley for more than three decades.
Established near Seville in Victoria’s Yarra Valley, Oakridge Wines began as a family company. A pioneer of the Upper Yarra Valley, Oakridge recognised the potential for making great wine on the rich, red, volcanic soils of the sub-region.
The turn of the century saw Oakridge move to its location in Coldstream, and become a part of one of Australia’s larger wine companies.
In recent times, Oakridge once again returned to family ownership.
