Common Thread Chardonnay is an Australian white wine made from Chardonnay, the country's most widely planted white grape variety. Chardonnay has a long and established history in Australia and is grown across most of the nation's wine regions, from cool, elevated districts through to warmer inland areas, which gives the variety its broad range of expression.

Chardonnay is prized for its versatility. Depending on where the fruit is grown and how the wine is made, the variety can move from bright citrus, green apple and grapefruit through to riper notes of peach, nectarine and melon, usually carried by a refreshing line of natural acidity. Where oak and lees work come into play, the wine gains further texture and subtle layers such as toasted nuts, cashew and gentle spice.

This is a food-friendly style that sits comfortably alongside seafood, roast chicken and lighter dishes. It can be enjoyed in its fresh, youthful years, while more structured examples carry the acidity and depth to evolve with time in the cellar.
