Juicy and vibrant, with notes of white tea flowers, lemon verbena, and summer peach. Its lean profile speaks to an inner brightness, while the gentle mouthfeel leaves a touch of salinity on the tongue. Delicious and keen on food pairing

Naturalis is produced by the Angove family, who have been making wine for 135 years over five generations. As the largest producers of organic wines in Australia, they are committed to sustainability in both the vineyards and in winemaking practices to ensure their legacy as environmental stewards lives on for future generations.
Grapes sourced for this wine are grown in our Certified Organic Nanya Vineyard near Paringa, South Australia and a small certified organic vineyard on the outskirts of McLaren Vale township. The sandy loam over limestone soils, abundant sunshine, warm days and cool nights of Paringa provide ideal conditions for nurturing flavor packed organic grapes whilst the McLaren Vale vineyard adds depth and richness. We view the vineyard as more than just the source of our grapes. It is a holistic system of interconnected organic prosperity. The vine is important, but it is the health of the entire environment that provides the best tasting grapes.
At no stage during the grape growing and winemaking of Naturalis wines have we used any synthetic pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, fertilizers or inputs of any kind. Everything we use comes from nature, pure and clean, and all wines are vegan friendly, gluten-free and non-GMO.
One of the most popular and versatile white wine grapes, Chardonnay offers a wide range of flavors and styles depending on where it is grown and how it is made. While it tends to flourish in most environments, Chardonnay from its Burgundian homeland produces some of the most remarkable and longest lived examples. California produces both oaky, buttery styles and leaner, European-inspired wines. Somm Secret—The Burgundian subregion of Chablis, while typically using older oak barrels, produces a bright style similar to the unoaked style. Anyone who doesn't like oaky Chardonnay would likely enjoy Chablis.
South Australia is the historic heart of Australian wine, a great wine capital of the world, and home to some of the most famous regions. It produces more than 80% of Australia’s premium wine from some of the oldest vines in the world. There is an abundance of varieties and wide spectrum of styles to explore. From the rogue to refined, discover Australian wines that are far from ordinary.
