Moppity Vineyards 'Twelve Signs Cancer' New South Wales Chardonnay 2024 - 12 Bottles

Winery Background

Moppity Vineyards is a family‑run estate led by Jason and Alecia Brown, based across the cool‑climate Hilltops and Tumbarumba regions of New South Wales. The Twelve Signs collection aims to offer varietal clarity and personality in accessible wines, with Capricorn SBL as a focused expression of Sauvignon Blanc.

Vineyards and Vintage Conditions

The fruit for the 2024 vintage was sourced from cooler Hilltops vineyard blocks where warm afternoons coupled with brisk nights help preserve natural acidity and build flavour intensity. The result is a wine that balances richness and freshness.

Winemaking Process

This Chardonnay was fermented in stainless steel to maintain brightness. A short lees ageing period added subtle texture without imparting overt oak flavours. No malolactic fermentation was used, allowing the wine’s freshness and purity to shine through.

Tasting Notes

The wine is pale straw with green highlights and bright clarity. Aromas include white peach, nectarine and citrus zest with hints of nougat or lightly toasted nuts. On the palate it is medium-bodied, offering stone fruits, lemon curd and refined oak spice, finishing crisp and balanced.

Food Pairing

Pairs well with roast chicken or pork, grilled prawns, creamy seafood pasta, butternut squash risotto, or soft cheeses like Brie or aged cheddar. Its refreshing acidity suits a range of flavours and textures.

Story Behind the Wine

This Chardonnay represents the Twelve Signs ethos—varietal vibrancy presented with ease. It has weight and presence without heaviness, freshness without austerity. Each bottle speaks of its place, modern Hilltops Chardonnay that balances generosity with refinement.
