Buttery Chardonnay: Mattinson’s Guide To

Written By Campbell Mattinson

Good Buttery Chardonnay is hard to find. It was everywhere in the 1990s, back when Lindemans Bin 65, Petaluma Chardonnay, Rosemount and Tyrrell’s were in their buttery pomp. Tyrrell’s still makes great chardonnay but finding a buttery chardonnay that is a) affordable and b) the best of its kind can be difficult. So whenever I come across a buttery chardonnay for this site, I’ll now add a tag to the wine, so that all buttery chardonnays are easy to find. This tag will be updated whenever I find a wine that suits the style.

The Buttery Chardonnay tag is here.

Importantly, Mattinson will tell you about the top-rated wines and also about the underrated wines. In short, Mattinson knows Australian wines inside and out.
