2025 Kooyong Estate Single Vineyard Chardonnay

A beautifully proportioned Chardonnay that combines richness with refinement.

Brilliant very pale straw colour with a distinctive green tint around the edges and a watery hue. Captivating aromas of white peach, nectarine, dried honey and cashew drift through the nostrils with splendid intensity. Some crème brulee and spicy biscuit notes are also evident. Rich yet refined, the mid weighted palate is layered with creamy textured flavours of white peach, nectarine, dried honey and cashew. Lingering across the back half are elements of biscuity nougat, citrus and spice. Beautifully balanced and proportioned, it has a long, stylish finish.

Drink over the next 5-6 years.

Alc. 13%

Other Reviews….

A blend of two top blocks – Faultline and Farrago – from the estate vineyard showcases an elegant, restrained Chardonnay that is still very much enjoying its youth. This is undoubtedly a good thing because it certainly has the ability to age further and very well at that. An exacting, exciting wine with emerging aromas of citrus, stone fruit, quince, almond cream, hazelnut with a Meyer lemon sweet scent coming through. To taste, note the textural quality developing that is so appealing together with a creamy leesy mouthfeel and flavour with background baked bread. This is a wine of class with an energy fuelled by bright acidity. A few swishes of air and everything melds and builds in unison. In sync right now, with a big, blossoming future ahead. Drink 2026-2037.
