Josef Chromy

2023 Chardonnay, Josef Chromy

Tasmania, AustraliaVintage: 2023

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.

Notable Awards

91/100 James Suckling “The nose is vibrant, with aromas of lemon balm, lime zest and oyster shells. The palate is medium‑bodied with finely integrated acidity, showing notes of grapefruit sherbet, mandarins and orange blossoms. Nicely constructed, with a balance of freshness and power. Drink or hold.”

Description

Josef Chromy Wines stands as a beacon of excellence in Tasmania’s cool-climate wine scene, embodying a story of resilience, craftsmanship, and pioneering spirit. Founded in 2007 by Czech immigrant Josef Chromy, the estate reflects the remarkable journey of its namesake, who fled war-torn Europe in 1950 and built a legacy in Australian food and wine through hard work, vision, and dedication.

Located just south of Launceston in northern Tasmania, the Josef Chromy estate is renowned for producing elegant, expressive wines that showcase the purity and precision for which Tasmania is famed. The winery’s focus is firmly on cool-climate varietals, with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and sparkling wines forming the core of its critically acclaimed portfolio.

The estate’s single-vineyard philosophy, combined with meticulous vineyard management and modern winemaking techniques, allows the wines to reflect both variety and site with clarity and finesse. Vineyards span across the Tamar Valley and Coal River Valley, offering a diversity of soil types and microclimates that contribute to complexity and balance in the finished wines.

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.

Chardonnay fruit is hand-picked when cold and gently whole-bunch pressed. The free-run juice is settled overnight and barrelled in French oak barriques, of which about 25% are new each year. A portion of the juice is set to wild yeast fermentation and the balance is inoculated with 3 yeast strains to accentuate fruit, weight and texture. Gentle barrel stirring early on and partial malolactic fermentation contributed greatly to the wine’s texture, structure and savoury undertones. The wine spent seven months in barrels on full lees to maintain freshness and further develop complexity. Minimal fining was carried out, and the wine was bottled in early 2024.
