Appearance

Clean straw with a youthful green hue — the bright, elegant colour of a cool climate King Valley Chardonnay from the 2025 vintage, with the freshness and precision that the Banksdale vineyard’s long ripening season delivers.

Aroma

Lovely aromas of stone fruit and citrus — the classic cool climate Chardonnay aromatic profile in fresh, expressive form, with the natural acidity and purity that the King Valley’s cool growing conditions consistently preserve.

Palate

Tight and crisp with fresh honeydew melon flavours and a long, complex finish — the balanced oak handling adding interesting nutty characters to the vibrant stone fruit and citrus core. Just over half fermented and aged for five months in French oak, with a small percentage new, for a Chardonnay of genuine depth and stylish restraint.

Pairs With

Pan-fried chicken breast wrapped in prosciutto — or a mild soft rind cheese such as brie or camembert. The crisp acidity, stone fruit character, and balanced oak make this a versatile and elegant partner at the table.
