An Adelaide Hills classic, reimagined for a fresh vintage. Wirra Wirra’s The 12th Man Chardonnay takes its name from the long tradition of cricketing camaraderie, but in the glass, it’s all serious quality and cool-climate finesse.
Sourced from high-altitude vineyards across the Hills, the 2024 release shows off everything we love about modern Australian Chardonnay. It’s bright, pure and finely textured, with notes of white peach, nectarine and lemon curd, layered with hints of roasted cashew, struck match and gentle French oak. Natural acidity brings drive and length, while a touch of creamy lees character adds extra depth and savoury complexity.
Elegant yet approachable, this is the kind of Chardonnay that’s equally at home with a dozen oysters, a roast chook or a bowl of creamy pasta.

Boccaccio Cellars offers real time shipping rates at checkout. These are heavily subsidised rates directly from Australia Post and will vary depending on your postcode.
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).
Pickups on all items are encouraged.
