Flint Chardonnay 2025

$33.00

Mount Gambier, straddling the South Australian and Victorian border, is one of Australia’s coolest and most distinctive wine regions. Its soils were formed through the interaction of volcanic activity and underlying limestone, when around 6,000 years ago, steam-driven eruptions forced volcanic ash and debris up through the porous limestone. The resulting mix of basalt, volcanic tuff, and calcium carbonate-rich ash created fertile, well-draining soils, while the region’s dramatic landscape of sinkholes and crater lakes tells the story of these ancient events. Combined with the cooling influence of the nearby Southern Ocean, these conditions produce chardonnay of precision and tension, with bright citrus and stone-fruit flavours underpinned by a chalky, mineral edge. The result is an elegant, finely balanced style that captures both the limestone purity and volcanic energy of Mount Gambier’s terroir.

The fruit was harvested in the cool of night to capture freshness and precision, then gently direct-pressed into stainless steel for a long, slow fermentation. The wine remained on lees throughout, with gentle stirring until malolactic fermentation was complete, bringing subtle weight and harmony. A small parcel was also fermented in barrel, adding quiet complexity and depth

Opens with lime, lemon and grapefruit, followed by white peach and subtle spice. Hints of hazelnut, vanilla custard and lightly buttered toast add depth and complexity.

Vibrant and precise, with bright mineral notes and zesty acidity framed by subtle crème brûlée richness. Fresh and concentrated, it shows balance with nuanced oak and layered depth.
