The famous Aussie “Chook Raffle” is as ubiquitous as the friggin' infernal flies. Held in every local pub, it’s the weekly fundraising raffle where for a buck, you might win a frozen chook (chicken), a cold meat platter or just about anything the organizer can scrounge up! This Adelaide Hills Chardonnay is crafted with a touch more care, using carefully ripened fruit with just a touch of oak to give bright, juicy flavors reminiscent of grapefruit and melon. Although, like the Chook Raffle, there’s always a surprise that makes it taste just that little bit better.

The fruit for the Chook Raffle Chardonnay is sourced from Australia’s premier cool-climate wine region, Adelaide Hills. Situated in the Mount Lofty Ranges at an altitude of 2300 feet, this region is ideally suited for crisp Chardonnay. The majority of the 07 Shoofly Chardonnay is stainless steel fermented, although 10% of the wine has been fermented in neutral (used) French oak. A a touch of Verhelho and Riesling has been added to the blend to provide extra freshness and juicy flavors reminiscent of grapefruit and melon. On the nose, this zippy Chardonnay offers aromas of tropical fruit, peaches and melon while on the palate; grapefruit and lemon zest are complemented by cleansing acidity. This youthful wine is drinking great now and will develop more complexity over the next 3 years.
