Explore the dynamic character of Ossa Wines Chardonnay 2020, an intense and vibrant Tasmanian Chardonnay from the emerging Ossa label by Rod and Cecile Roberts. This wine captures the essence of cool-climate Chardonnay with its beautifully balanced tension, driven by a crisp acidity that harmonises with rich fruit and spice notes. Fermented in large old oak barrels and aged on lees for 10 months, this Chardonnay offers a concentrated palate of apricot, melon, and French oak nuttiness, making it a compelling choice for those who appreciate depth and complexity in their white wines.

Producer Background: Ossa Wines is the brainchild of Rod and Cecile Roberts, who have ventured into the Tasmanian wine scene with a focus on producing expressive, high-quality wines that reflect the region’s unique terroir. While Ossa’s own Chardonnay plantings on Tasmania’s east coast are still maturing, this 2020 release showcases fruit sourced from some of the island’s most renowned vineyards, including those in the Coal River Valley and neighbouring Swansea. Their approach to winemaking emphasises balance, structure, and the natural vibrancy of Tasmanian fruit.

Flavour Profile:

  • Appearance: Pale gold with a bright, clear hue.
  • Nose: Aromas of ripe apricot, melon, and citrus, interwoven with notes of spice, toasted nuts, and a hint of vanilla from the oak.
  • Palate: Rich and full-bodied, with a creamy texture from extended lees contact. The palate is driven by concentrated fruit flavours of apricot and melon, complemented by a lively acidity and subtle French oak spice.
  • Conclusion: A well-structured Chardonnay with a harmonious balance of fruit, acidity, and oak, leading to a long, satisfying finish.

Inspiring Food Pairing Ideas: Pair this robust Chardonnay with equally rich and flavourful dishes. It’s a perfect match for roast chicken with herbs, creamy seafood pasta, or grilled lobster with garlic butter. The wine’s nutty, oaky character also complements dishes like mushroom risotto or a cheese platter featuring Brie or Gruyère. For a dessert pairing, try it with a peach tart or almond cake to highlight its fruity and nutty nuances.
