A Chardonnay that speaks for itself. Debuting with 94 Points isn't something that you see everyday. Catia D'anna has made something special here under the guidance of her father Franco D'anna. The Cat & Frank Chardonnay 2024 being described as a 'Top class chardonnay' that you 'rarely see at this price point'.
Top class chardonnay usually costs a lot more than $30. This is a top class chardonnay, from the elite Upper Yarra sub-region of the Yarra Valley no less, with penetrating fruit flavours, almond notes, green olives and citrus, and the resultant length through the finish that you rarely see at this price level. It’s an excellent wine now but it will cellar well too. In short, this wine is an ultra easy Yes. 94 points.
Hers’s a quiet style of wine. It’s nutty, savoury and umami. Apple and melon rind, green olive, subtle oak. It’s light to medium-weight, saline with a subtle citrus tang, chalky texture, a sake-like flavour on a finish of good length, with green apple peel to close. Complex. Different. Excellent. 93 Points.
Tasting Notes: Fruit sourced from Upper Yarra, near the Woori Yallock district. The wine exhibits some citrus, grapefruit and white flower undertones. The palate is characterised by mineral tones, with a line of acidity and seasoned with second and third year oak. The wine exhibits balance and structure, with intensity and focus.

Unfortunately, due to the ever increasing costs of postage we are unable to offer free shipping any longer. Postal increases have seen the average box of wine range from $30-$60, which can represent up to 500% of the cost of the average bottle of wine.
Your postal costs are calculated on the following factors:
- Where in Australia you are shipping to (Where rural postcodes obviously attract a higher charge)
- What in Australia you are shipping (Beer and water for example, are calculated in real time without any additional subsidy. This is because the margins for these products are minimal). Dry goods attract a discounted flat fee of $12 per carton (Calculated by gross weight).
