The 2025 release is a blend of the following subregions: Merricks North 32%; Shoreham 21%;  Tuerong 43%; and Flinders 2%. The clones are 548, 95, P58 and I10V5.

The 2025 Chardonnay was handpicked, pressed straight to barrel without any sulphur, and the oxidised juice was immediately inoculated. After primary fermentation, the barrels were seeded with a range of different malolactic bacteria and then left on gross lees until the end of the year without sulphur. Occasional stirring before filtration. No fining, except bentonite.

The wine shows more stone fruit on the nose than the last couple of vintages, which is in line with the warmer vintage conditions. Yellow nectarine, lemon verbena and spice. Juicy palate, with stone fruit and finishing with some savouriness and citrus zest
