Ada River Chardonnay 2025

$110.00

The Ada River vineyard was planted in 1982 by the Kelleher family at Neerim South in the foothills of Mount Baw Baw in Gippsland. The site is comprised of uniform volcanic soils which run deep into basalt rock. Clonal selection is kept to P58 and I10V1 Chardonnay with the total plantings to chardonnay being just on a hectare. The vineyard is situated at 300m in elevation and has the fortune of 360-degree windbreaks which limit the occasional harsh winds pushing from the snowfields. The vineyard is 100% dry grown, evident through the intense fruit concentration.

The fruit was hand harvested into 15kg baskets and transferred to the winery, then whole cluster crushed into the press and drained off into tank for settling. Primary fermentation took place in barrique (30% new) over three weeks followed by complete malolactic fermentation. Lees stirring occurred weekly until the completion of malolactic fermentation. The wine was then aged in barrique for ten months.

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.
