This is an opulent Chardonnay with a luscious layered mouthfeel. Reminiscent of Peach, Figs and Cashews that is harmonised on the palate with lovely acidity. The quality of the fruit grown from our 5-acres of Chardonnay is evident in the quality of this wine.

The highlight with the 2022 vintage was the weather leading into harvest. It was mild and dry with lots of cloud cover which helped maintain a beautiful acidity and freshness in this wine that matches the richer creamier characters from the barrel fermentation.

A contrast to the Verve Chardonnay. The grapes are hand picked 5-6 days riper from the same vineyard. The grapes are gently pressed and gravity fed into a mixture of new and used barrels. This has passed the citrus spectrum of flavours and has more of the Crème Brûlée flavours of a high quality Chardonnay. This wine is aging for 10-15 years and is a must to have in your high end section of the cellar.

Pure. Coastal. Perfect.

The Aylward Chardonnay captures the essence of the Mornington Peninsula — crisp, mineral and effortlessly refined. Its coastal freshness and subtle oak make it the perfect match for freshly shucked oysters.

A true Mornington gem
Visiting the Ocean Eight cellar door was unforgettable. The wines are elegant, the people are passionate, and the whole experience captures the essence of the region. We left with a case — and a new favourite winery. — Emma & Daniel, Red Hill South
