2025 Wine Lovers Chardonnay

Vintage | A strong Chardonnay vintage combining power and elegance. Warm days delivered ripe stone fruit while cool nights preserved vibrant natural acidity. Vineyard | Cool-climate, high-altitude vineyards of Orange, NSW. Barrel fermented with subtle French oak and creamy malo-lactic texture for balance and complexity. Colour | Youthful straw green. Bouquet | Complex cool climate expression with bright peach and nectarine fruit, classy French oak & compelling malo-lactic notes. Palate | Generous white stone fruits with creamy oak. Cool climate acidity provides drive and freshness. Pairs well with: Meat | Roast chicken with lemon, thyme and garlic served with crispy roasted potatoes and steamed greens. Seafood | Pan-seared scallops with cauliflower purée finished with nutty brown butter, capers and fresh chives. Vegetarian | Creamy pumpkin risotto with sage and toasted pine nuts served with a dollop of mascarpone. Vegan | Roasted butternut squash with coconut cream, chilli and crispy shallots. Cheese | Triple cream brie served with honeycomb and toasted almonds. Cellaring | Best enjoyed now through 2029; gains lovely, toasted nut and honey complexity with 3–5 years cellaring. Alcohol | 13%
