2025 e'Stellar Chardonnay

Pale gold in the glass, this Chardonnay opens with aromas of juicy nectarine, grilled nuts and marmalade on toast, layered with a subtle struck match note. The palate is tight and focused, with flavours of green apple and stone fruit framed by a fine line of acidity that drives length and precision. A light touch of French oak supports the structure, leading to a long, savoury and composed finish, making this a serious, age-worthy expression of Yarra Valley Chardonnay.

WINEMAKING

The fruit for our Chardonnay was hand picked from the lower section of our North facing D1 block, planted to old-vine P58 clone Chardonnay. After pressing, the cloudy juice was wild fermented in barrel before maturing on lees in French oak (30% new) for 10 months. Zero malolactic fermentation has kept this wine tight and bright.
