Description
Verve Chardonnay is a beautiful example of Mornington Peninsula wine from our vineyard in Tuerong. The Verve is made from a block of Chardonnay vines we have grown since 2006. Featuring the clones P58, I10 & 95, these clonal selections combined with what we believe is a unique site for ripening Chardonnay on the Mornington Peninsula continually produces a distinctive wine of freshness & tension.
The first highlight is the citrus spectrum fruit and acidity. Oak is neutralised by the use of barrels that are over 6 years old. The lightest of touches is shown in the texture of the wine to highlight the variety. The Verve Chardonnay is lean but balanced with plenty of zip right through the whole palate.
“There is a lot of verve to this thanks to some mouth-watering sulphides and acidity. It’s a pared-back style with hints of lemon, white nectarine, creamy lees, not much, just enough to bolster the palate, which is essentially racy and linear. Moreish, so another glass please.”
The 2021 Ocean Eight Verve Chardonnay is another intensely flavoured, racy version of Mornington Peninsula Chardonnay; soft white peach complimenting a backbone of crisp grapefruit acidity and lemon curd texture. The style is lean and clean with impeccable balance and length.

ABOUT THIS BRAND
Ocean Eight
Ocean Eight is owned by the Aylward family. The winery is located at 271 Tucks Road in Shoreham on the Mornington Peninsula. All grapes picked for this small production come from the Aylward’s 17 Hectares of vines. The Mornington Peninsula has become one of the most sought-after regions in Australia for the production of high quality Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Gris. These are the varieties planted at Ocean Eight’s vineyards. The winery is managed by Michael & Hollie Aylward whose passion originated over a decade ago with a part-time job at the family’s previous winery Kooyong. Ocean Eight has evolved into the couple’s full-time obsession. This passion-driven endeavour to bring the highest quality wine to the Mornington Peninsula saw Michael win the sought-after Australian “Young Gun of Wine” award in 2011. Ocean Eight wines are lean, bright & tight with acid at the finish. These characters help the wines pair with food and age incredibly well. It is no coincidence that these characters are also intrinsic to the cool, maritime conditions of Mornington Peninsula vineyards, where the Aylward’s chose to grow grapes and make wines over 20 years ago.
