Angove Family Winemakers is Australia’s leading Organic grape growers and winemakers farming vineyards with no artificial herbicides, pesticides or fertilisers. These wines are a pure expression of winemaking with just the gentlest touch from our winemakers. 

Angove Organic Chardonnay is sourced from organically certified vineyards in the  Riverland and McLaren Vale regions of South Australia. The cool, wet conditions through spring and summer led to lower yields, delayed  ripening and challenges managing disease. The skill and dedication of our viticulturists  and winemakers led to a small but quality crop being harvested from early February  through to the end of March.

Picked late at night to harvest the grapes as cold as possible the grapes were transported to the winery and pressed using modern membrane tank presses. After cold settling the clear juice was carefully racked to cooled fermentation tanks and inoculated with selected yeasts. Cool fermentation was followed by minimal handling filtration and bottling at the Angove winery.

Food Pairing: Grilled fish or organic free range roast chicken(tongdak-gui).
