Livestream Recap: Chardonnay Reimagined with Grace Douglas
Today at dVIN Labs
🍷 Wine Wednesday Recap: Chardonnay, But Make It Aussie
This week’s livestream was pure Chardonnay joy — with Aussie winemaker Grace Douglas joining us live from Coonawarra (at 1am her time!). Grace is changing the game for Australian Chardonnay — and she brought the passion to prove it.
🍍 From Pineapple Barrels to Clone Geeks
Grace broke down the modern Chardonnay movement in Australia — crisp, elegant, cool-climate wines that are miles away from the buttery bottles of decades past. We got deep into clones, ferment styles, and yes, barrels that give off tropical notes.
🌱 Chardonnay for World Peace
Beyond the vineyard, Grace shared her mission to uplift her region and create space for more makers. Her message? Wine is better when we rise together.
