Red Hill Estate Merricks Grove Chardonnay 2024 is a single-site Mornington Peninsula Chardonnay of genuine elegance and mineral precision — sourced from premium Merricks Grove blocks and barrel-fermented to enhance complexity and texture. Layers of guava, lemon curd, and citrus blossom lead into a palate of white nectarine, pink grapefruit, candied lemon, and a whisper of pineapple. Full yet elegant, with a mineral acidity that provides length and finesse. Serve lightly chilled at 10–14°C for the perfect balance of freshness and texture.
