Penfolds Max’s Chardonnay
PENFOLDS Max’s Chardonnay is an Australian white wine from Penfolds’ Max’s range, made from Chardonnay grown across cool-climate vineyard regions. The current official Penfolds release is a 13% ABV, 750ml Chardonnay with fruit from Adelaide Hills, Tasmania and Margaret River, combining green apple, citrus and stone fruit character with creamy French oak influence and a long, composed finish.
The current official Penfolds Max’s Chardonnay is made from Chardonnay and matured for seven months in French oak barriques, with 5% new oak. Penfolds also notes regular yeast lees battonage, which helps build the wine’s creamy, textural palate. The current official vineyard regions are Adelaide Hills, Tasmania and Margaret River, reflecting a cool-climate Australian Chardonnay style.
In the glass, this Chardonnay shows a light straw colour with a subtle green rim. The aroma moves from fresh cream, salted cashew, white peach and nectarine into baked baguette, pistachio nougat and white citrus blossom. The palate is textural and complex, carrying nougat, white stone fruit and white grapefruit citrus, with refined acidity, a mineral edge, phenolic grip and a long toasted French oak finish.
This Chardonnay suits buyers looking for a polished Australian white wine with fruit, texture and measured oak influence. Serve it chilled for casual dinners, seafood, roast chicken, creamy pasta or cheese-based dishes. Its Penfolds name and approachable style also make it a practical choice for gifting when a recognisable Australian wine brand is preferred.
