Mitchelton Gabriella Possum Yarra Valley Chardonnay

Set along the scenic Goulburn River near Nagambie, Mitchelton is not only a renowned winery but also home to Australia's largest commercial Aboriginal art gallery — The Mitchelton Gallery of Aboriginal Art. Currently featuring works by Gabriella Possum Nungurrayi, the gallery celebrates her vibrant storytelling through art. Her deep connection to Country and the influence of her father — with whom she painted, walked and shared stories — are beautifully captured in works like Bush Tucker, Women’s Ceremonies, and Seven Sisters Dreaming. Select pieces now grace the labels of a limited collection of wines, crafted from estate-grown fruit across Mitchelton’s vineyards in Nagambie, Yarra Valley and Heathcote.

This Yarra Valley Chardonnay reflects both region and vintage with elegance and restraint. Pale straw with a green hue, it opens with lifted aromas of white peach, citrus blossom and subtle flinty oak, layered with delicate yeast complexity. The 2020 vintage’s cooler conditions have shaped a medium-bodied palate with freshness and finesse — vibrant acidity underpins stone fruit and citrus, while well-integrated French oak and hints of autolysis lend depth and savoury nuance. Finishing long and pure, this is a poised and beautifully structured Chardonnay, offering clarity, texture and quiet sophistication.
