Stratford Vineyard Chardonnay 2018
About the wine
Premium, aged, single estate stunner
- A pre-aged Chardonnay from a single estate vineyard? Yes please! This sensational drop is already at its best and is ready to be enjoyed. It’s been made with grapes carefully selected from Stratford’s own family owned vineyard on the banks of the Goulburn River in Central Victoria. A long growing season allowed the grapes to mature to a delectable full ripeness, and an early morning harvest ensured the pristine quality was locked away, ready to be unleashed in the finished wine.
- With delicious fruit flavours of white peach and nashi pear, there’s also notes of vanilla and spice which are thanks to its fermentation in French oak. It’s soft and rounded in your mouth, and you’ll also enjoy white melon and ripe stonefruits on your tongue, with lemon meringue and field herbs providing a lovely final flavour.
- Low yielding, mature vines have delivered a wine with great complexity. This is a premium Chardonnay that demonstrates what exceptional fruit and quality winemaking can deliver - plus the benefit of a few years within the bottle to finesse even further.
Best before
The wines already have a time aging and are ready to be enjoyed now. That being said, the quality of the fruit and winemaking means there is still further aging potential.
Serving advice
This wine is ready upon opening but will open further given time to breath in glass.
Food match
Great as an Aperitif or with Asian dishes such as Chilli Crab, Prawns, Curries and Biryani. Also great with Desserts such as Apple Crumble, Pavlova, Fruit and Cheese.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Barbara Gallo & Glenn Eberbach
The team at Stratford Vineyard have been successfully making excellent wines for many years. The vineyard has been awarded over 700 awards in the last six years including winery of the year, double gold, gold, silver and bronze medals in Australia and International wine shows.
Chances are, you’ve heard of Stratford Vineyard before - only then they were known by a different name. They first joined Naked’s Stop the Squeeze program with the Lagoon View wines that were caught up in the China tariff crisis. The relationship was intended to be temporary. Then something very special happened.
Both the Stratford team and the Angels adored one another so much, the team decided to be part of Naked exclusively… and permanently. So here they are, using their actual vineyard’s name, with Naked for good! May we introduce vineyard co-owners Barbara and Sam Gallo and their winemaker, Glenn Eberbach - our newest team behind Stratford Vineyard.
