Tasting profile
Structure: full-bodied, medium acidity, dry
Chardonnay in Rutherglen's continental warmth gives a generous, stone-fruit-driven style rather than the taut worked expression fashionable elsewhere in Australia. White peach and melon with a soft, rounded middle and gentle oak, more about texture and weight than tension, with moderate acidity that makes it approachable young. It is not the variety that made the region's name — that is Durif and the fortifieds — but Pfeiffer make a satisfying, generous white here for the table. Best drunk while the fruit is forward rather than cellared. Serve it barely chilled rather than cold, with roast chicken or anything creamy.
