2021 Marilyn J Reserve Chardonnay

$100.00

Our Marilyn J Reserve Chardonnay is named in honour of the backbone of our entire operation, Marilyn Joyce. She’s the strength, the voice of reason and the calm in the chaos. A lifetime dedicated to supporting those around her, this wine is a testament to her commitment to our vision.

Our (inaugural) 2021 Marilyn J Chardonnay from Eden Valley gently lures you in to explore the generosity in aromas and flavours, inviting you to indulge in its exquisite fresh white peach, pear and lemon sorbet with subtle hints of nectarine, melon and a racy dash of grapefruit zest.

Matured in premium French oak, the perfect balance between palate weight and varietal expression is achieved, giving just a lick of fine tannin and luscious soft acidity that enhances the elegant lengthy finish.

With an initial shyness that soon gives way to a full display of genuine personality and world class character, our 2021 Marilyn J Chardonnay is sure to captivate even the most discerning palates with its rich array of flavours and exceptional drinkability.

Proper storage keeps your Eden Valley wines tasting their best.

Everyday storage

  • Temperature: Aim for 12–14°C and avoid big swings.
  • Light: Store in the dark; avoid sunlight/UV.
  • Vibration: Keep bottles still; no fridges that cycle/vibrate often.
  • Humidity: Around 60–70% helps corks stay healthy.

Bottle position

  • Cork-sealed wines: Store on their side so the cork stays moist.
  • Screw-cap wines: Can be stored upright or on their side.

After opening

  • Reseal and refrigerate.
    • Reds: 3–5 days (bring to serving temp before pouring).
    • Whites/Rosé/Sparkling: 2–4 days (use a sparkling stopper for fizz).

Cellaring

  • Many Brockenchack wines reward cellaring. Check individual product pages for suggested drinking windows or ask us for personalised guidance.
