Westbound Ben Rector Truffle Block Chardonnay 2021
About the wine
Perfect for foodies or the cellar!
-
If you ask Pemberton based Ben Rector, “Chardonnay, more than any other variety, should be a wine that makes you say YUM.” This cool-climate classic does just that!
-
Growing alongside world famous black truffles and healthy hazelnut trees allowed this wine to take full advantage of the rich and healthy soil, delivering intense flavours of fresh white peach and pear, hints of vanilla and a nod to spice from its time spent in oak.
-
Food lovers will delight in this rich white, it’s as versatile as they come and is known for accompanying almost any meal with ease!
Best before
Drinking crisp and fresh as a youthful wine, will peak at 3 -4 years with some richness developing, and will continue to drink well for 5-8 years.
Serving advice
Best advice would be to ensure it is not too cold. Perhaps open a bottle at fridge temperature, but leave it out of the fridge, and ideally consume at 10-15 degrees.
Food match
Pemberton sourced garlic and herb Marron, mixed through some hand made pasta, topped with some shaved estate grown Black Truffle. Try and beat this!

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Ben Rector
- Ben Rector is out to show the potential of the lesser known vineyards of WA. With more than 20 years experience across some of Australia's premier winemaking regions, he knows exactly what to look for in grape quality, no matter the climate. In 2019, he was awarded the Sauvignon Blanc and Merlot trophies at the regional wine show.
- The Pemberton and Geographe regions of South West WA are Ben's main focus. His aged release reds have all sold out in record time, and his flair for Chardonnay is undeniable.
- Ben takes great pride in his artistic licence, always ensuring that his wines go above and beyond. Angel feedback is gold dust, and the support he has received has allowed Ben to increase his output astronomically. All this in five short Naked years...what will he do next?!
