2026 Chardonnay
Grown on our coolest site, Thomas Block, this Chardonnay is layered and bright — white peach, hazelnut and preserved lemon meet creamy lime curd, with a savoury edge and a beautifully textural finish.
Our Single Vineyard Thomas Block Chardonnay comes from the coolest corner of our vineyard, picked in the cool of night and gently whole berry pressed before heading to seasoned French oak puncheons for barrel fermentation. Aged on lees for five months, it shows white peach, hazelnut, nectarine and preserved lemon on the nose, with a subtle savoury reduction adding intrigue. The palate is complex and layered, with zesty backbone supporting creamy lime curd and fresh stone fruit that build with every sip — flavoursome, textural and fresh, it's a wine that rewards a moment of pause. Grown biodynamically on our coolest site, it's a true expression of the slow and steady 2026 vintage in McLaren Vale.
