Sourced from vineyards in the Wambuul Valley: Renzaglia’s Bella Luna vineyard in O’Connell, (situated at 780 metres, it was first planted to Chardonnay propagated from cuttings taken from the Canobolas Smith vineyard in Orange) and from the Mount Panorama Vineyard (located at Wahluu at 750 metres).

Renzaglia, Wambuul, Chardonnay, Central Ranges, 2024

Pale straw. Waxy and honeyed. There’s savoury peanut oil and deep grapefruit, green melon, orange zest and stone fruit flesh. Firm, savoury up front, with handsome, waxy phenolics. Leesy nutty funk with plenty of stone fruit and spikes of ginger and cedar spice. Well structured with juicy acidity through a fine tail. One for the spice lovers.
