Garagiste is one of Australia's brightest cool-climate producers, created by Barnaby Flanders back in 2006. Crafting an impressive range of small-batch Mornington Peninsula Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, Garagiste has a focus on expressing the single-sites and sub-regions of the Peninsula.
The 2024 Garagiste Le Stagiaire Chardonnay is made up of grapes grown on premium Mornington Peninsula sites; Balnarring (65%), Merricks North (19%) and Tuerong (16%). The result is a vibrant, fresh release packed with citrus, flowers and stone fruits. Balanced by round texture and snappy acidity, there’s linear drive and a savoury, slightly salty close. Another impressive release that offers a level of value-for-money rarely found on the Mornington Peninsula.
