2024 Fighting Gully Road Chardonnay
A Precise, High-Acidity Beechworth Chardonnay with Halliday Recognition
My Wine Man on Fighting Gully Road. Fighting Gully Road is one of Beechworth's most respected small producers, known for crafting wines of precision, structure and site expression. Beechworth has become one of Australia's benchmark regions for Chardonnay — defined by its elevation, cool climate and naturally high acidity.
Tasting Notes
Spring blossom and citrus lead the aromatics, followed by white peach, grapefruit and subtle nutty complexity. The palate is tight and focused, with a clean, linear drive supported by bright acidity. Notes of grilled nuts and almond nougat add depth, while a gentle creamy texture balances the wine's energetic structure. The finish is long, fresh and slightly pithy.
Food Pairing
A precise, high-acidity Beechworth Chardonnay like this pairs beautifully with clean delicate fish. We love it with King Snapper Portions Skin-On from My Meat Man — pan-fried skin-side down with brown butter and capers, the delicate sweet flesh is a magnificent match for the wine's citrus, grapefruit and Beechworth acidity.
Why This Is a Smart Buy
At HK$319, this delivers Beechworth Chardonnay from a highly regarded boutique producer in one of Australia's top Chardonnay regions.
