Josef Chromy Wines is one of Tasmania’s most iconic wineries, founded by Czech-born Josef Chromy, a post-war immigrant who became a visionary in Australian viticulture. Located just south of Launceston, the estate is at the forefront of premium cool-climate winemaking, consistently producing wines that reflect the purity, elegance, and vibrancy of Tasmania’s pristine environment.

Refined and expressive, the 2023 Josef Chromy Chardonnay is a beautifully composed wine that captures the cool-climate elegance of Tasmania. On the nose, it opens with an alluring bouquet of roasted cashew, oak spice, and flinty minerality, interwoven with ripe stone fruit, lemon zest, and hints of mandarin peel. The palate is rich and textural, yet finely balanced, offering layers of lime sherbet, nectarine, and citrus oils wrapped in a creamy mid-palate. Subtle oak integration adds warmth and complexity, while vibrant natural acidity and ripe phenolics provide structure, tension, and a driving energy through the savoury, long finish. This is a Chardonnay of both generosity and precision, equally suited to early enjoyment or cellaring for added depth and nuance.

Josef Chromy has become one of Tasmania’s most awarded wine producers, regularly earning 95+ point scores from top critics and appearing on Australia’s top wine lists.
