About The Wine

Kate Goodman has worked for some of the biggest names in Australian wine, including powerhouses Dalwhinnie, Seppelts and Wirra Wirra.

Now embarking on her own journey in the Yarra Valley, this Nikkal Chardonnay is the perfect entry into her exquisite winemaking style. Sourced from vineyards in the Upper Yarra Valley, this is a full-flavoured yet medium weight Chardonnay with cool, clean lines and a little bit of funk.

It's classic, classy Yarra Chardonnay for under $30 and a deadset steal, given Kate's pedigree.

The Wine Front

"Kate Goodman is onto a good thing with this new Nikkal range. It looks right. It tastes right. It’s priced right. The bottle image doesn’t really do it justice but the label design is striking, in a good way. You’d call this chardonnay pristine. It’s not a fabulous wine but it’s well flavoured and textured, has enough complexity to keep you interested, embraces its variety with its grapefruit-and-white-peach flavour, and while kissed with spicy oak it’s just a passing flash. Nicely done." - Campbell Mattinson (The Wine Front)

Additional Info

From The Producer

This chardonnay is a blend of fruit from two vineyards, Upper Ngumby in Yarra Glen and the cooler Morgan Vineyard in Seville.

Harvested in February, tipped directly to the press and then fermented with some juice solids in seasoned French oak barrels. After fermentation the wine was left for a further six months prior to bottling in Spring.

Lemon curd, stone fruits and pears dominate the aromatics of this wine. The appealing nose is supported by generous fruit weight and intensity, and a fresh drive of natural juice acidity.

The palate is not only refreshing, but also filled with textural elements derived from the time the wine spends in French oak barrels, contributing richness.

Everyday Low & Consistent Pricing is something we strongly believe in. We want our customers to feel confident they are always getting the best price.

We'll even retrospectively refund you if you have already purchased from us but you see a lower price somewhere later on.

We Also Offer Volume Discounts. It works like this:

ORDERS OVER $149 GET FREE SHIPPING

ORDERS OVER $299 GET A $20 DISCOUNT
