2021 Pepper Tree Wines Venator Chardonnay

Venator – the Latin word for HUNTER. Rich stone fruit characters of peach and nectarine on the nose complemented by a hint of nutmeg and clove spice. The palate is long and tight filled with melon and stone fruit notes finishing with a crunchy, nectarine-like acidity. A balanced used of French oak provides mid palate structure and complexity. This wine is made to be enjoyed now or over the medium term.

For thirty years, Pepper Tree has been a beacon for quality wine in the heart of Hunter wine country. Founded in 1991, it continues to flourish as one of the stalwart wine companies of the region. Pepper Tree started with a focus on grapes from the Hunter Valley but today, the roots run deep for owner John Davis, with vineyard sites in four premium wine growing regions across Australia. Our Commitment to the four regions in which John Davis has invested so much of his time and expertise in are the driving force behind all we do. The Hunter Valley represents us but the roots of the tree spread through all four regions. You could say it’s the best of four worlds.
