STELLA BELLA - Chardonnay - Margaret River - Australia

Stella Bella Chardonnay is hand-picked, whole bunch pressed and wild fermented. Peach fuzz, gun flint and almond meal are balanced with Gin Gin intensity and an elegant mineral palate. A true Southern Margaret River style.

Pale straw with green hues. Gunflint char is complimented by fresh fruit aromas of pink grapefruit, lemon rind and lime, with hints of yellow peach fuzz and almond meal.

Generous flavours of peach, lemon, lime and grapefruit delivers precision and tension from the tip of your tongue to the back of your palate. The refreshing mineral acidity, created by the summer sea breezes blowing through our vineyards, captures an element of saltiness and a spring water liveliness, which leaves you wondering where the bottle went.

Vineyard Info

Stella Bella Wines and its success today evolved from the fusion of two passionate minds, Stuart Pym and Janice McDonald. In 1996 they decided to craft wines that would rival the benchmarks of Australia and beyond, with a strong belief in the unique and expressive terroir of Margaret River. The beautiful Stella Bella labels and brand were designed to encapsulate the beautiful colours, aromas and flavours we enjoy and talk about in wine. The name Stella Bella meaning ‘Beautiful Star’ in Italian.

Stella Bella’s five small distinctive vineyards are located throughout southern Margaret River, an area of our region chosen for its cool climate and ability to produce elegant, aromatic and medium bodied wines with personality and precision.

• Peak summer & low winter temperatures are moderated by extra cloud cover & ocean winds. Resulting in a longer cooler ripening period.

• Higher natural acidity with a pleasing mineral character.

• Tannin ripeness in the seeds & skins & the ability to maintain delicate & elegant flavours.

• Medium bodied, feminine wines with more perfume & distinctive varietal complexities & structure.

Stella Bella wines are the heart and soul of our winery and southern Margaret River. A vibrant range of classic Margaret River varietals that are abundant with aromas and flavors of flowers and fruits. Made to reflect the finesse and elegance of our southern Margaret River vineyards.
