broad and sloshy but comes with great appeal. Drink this one not so cold. Roll with its exotica. I am in.

About The Wine
In the same vein as the other wines in the Harem series, Madame Chard is about good, honest, fun drinking. Mills' aim was to craft "a Chardonnay that tastes like Chardonnay - not bloody sauvignon blanc!" and he's nailed the MO.
This is a richer, toastier style of Yarra Chardonnay with plenty of texture and chew.
The perfect all-rounder Chardonnay from a great producer and a steal at the price.
About Jamsheed
Gary Mills' Jamsheed wines are amongst the most exciting in the country: thrilling, authentic wines packed with personality. Campbell Mattinson labelled him “a leading producer”, while Jamie Goode called him “the new face of Australian wine”.
With a specific focus on the regional differences in Victorian Syrah, Gary has been ahead of the curve in creating minimal intervention wines that naturally convey the characteristics of their respective vineyards.
On top of his much sought-after Syrahs, Gary produces excellent textural white wines from varieties including Riesling and Roussanne, and is never afraid to innovate with his quirky and delicious Pet Nats, and 'Harem' and 'Park' labels.
Wild, electric and a little left of centre, Jamsheed is one of the Victoria’s most compelling producers.

Critic Reviews
"Chardonnay from the quixotic mind of Gary Mills, a pioneer in Aus of alt-wines of course, lest us not forget this. Good/interesting style here. Warm chicken stock scents, herbal notes, fino sherry, ripe citrus. Squirts across the palate on saline minerally notes, has the aldehydic lift of vin jaune, but not to the same extent, just there. Ripe apples, ripe citrus again, broad and sloshy but comes with great appeal. Drink this one not so cold. Roll with its exotica. I am in." - Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)

Can coupons and discounts be stacked? No, only one discount or coupon can be applied to an order at once.
I am trying to add more of a wine to my cart but it won’t let me? This means we are running low on stock of that wine. So for example, if the website will only allow you to add 3 bottles and no more, then that is all we have of that particular wine. The good news is we may be able to order more for you.
