Tessera’s Monarch Chardonnay from the Adelaide Hills is a classy, medium-bodied white with a stylish flair. Aged 11 months in premium French oak hogsheads, it pours light straw and greets you with lifted floral and apple notes. On the palate, expect lively pineapple and citrus balanced by toasted cashew and a touch of butter—clean acidity keeps it fresh and the oak plays a subtle, supportive role. This one’s not your everyday Chardonnay—it’s layered, elegant, and built to impress.
