Silent Noise Cloudy Chardonnay
Summary Silent Noise Cloudy Chardonnay is a natural, low-intervention white from McLaren Vale, South Australia, part of the brand's "Cloudy But Fine" range. Made from Chardonnay grapes with minimal filtration (hence "cloudy"), wild fermentation, and no added sulphites or fining agents, it emphasizes texture, lees character, and pure fruit expression. This skin-contact-influenced Chardonnay delivers a rich, mouth-filling style with creamy lees notes while retaining freshness and vibrancy—perfect for those who enjoy textural, funky whites. Enjoy chilled with seafood, creamy pasta, grilled chicken, soft cheeses, or as an aperitif.
