Ngeringa Chardonnay 2023

Ngeringa Chardonnay 2023

A cool-climate Australian Chardonnay with citrus peel, white peach, orchard fruit, and subtle nutty lees complexity. The palate is textured yet driven by natural acidity, with a clean, saline-leaning finish.

Key Details:

Producer: Ngeringa is one of Australia’s most serious biodynamic estates, founded in the Adelaide Hills with a philosophy that the vineyard is the only source of truth in wine. The team farms without synthetic inputs and treats winemaking as a continuation of farming, like the next phase. Their Chardonnay comes from high-elevation sites where cool nights preserve acidity and slow ripening builds complexity while maintaining freshness. 

Region: Adelaide Hills, South Australia

Varietal: 100% Chardonnay

Vintage: 2023

Style: Dry white wine with restrained oak use and emphasis on texture and freshness.

Why It’s Special: We love Ngeringa because they're small-scale, soil-first farming with a strong ethical backbone and obsessive attention to balance. This wine stays tense, lifted, and textural — citrus oil, white peach, almond skin, and saline minerality. The biodynamic farming matters here: you taste clarity.

This is a wine for people who think they don’t like Chardonnay because it tastes like oak — this is the opposite of that.

Food Pairing: Roast chicken, grilled seafood, creamy pasta, and soft cheeses.
