2025 Colour Series Chardonnay

The 2025 Colour Series Chardonnay is a beautifully balanced cool climate Chardonnay harvested from multiple blocks on our vineyard here in Orange. The fruit was picked at multiple ripeness levels and fermented in seasoned oak before aging for 1 year in French oak puncheons (500l) and foudres (1000l). A fantastic wine to enjoy with white meats and meaty fish but also delightful by the glass.

Vine to Wine

Multiple ripeness hand picks across three clones, the Chardonnay grapes were pressed and the juice then separated into batches for separate fermentation using different strains of yeast, each imparting a unique aroma and taste profile to add to complexity. The juice was fermented in seasoned French oak puncheons as well as stainless steel tanks. Following fermentation the wine was aged on lees in 20% new French Oak 500L puncheons as well as larger format foudres (100l) for 12 months with partial malolactic fermentation.

Pairs With

A medium bodied and balanced Chardonnay, the 2025 vintage of the Colour Series Chardonnay can stand up to and pair well with a range of dishes, from grilled chicken or pork, to richer creamy & buttery seafood, or vegetarian dishes. The balanced use of oak, and the savoury flavours that have come out from the aging process, along with beautiful ripe fruit flavours, will allow this Chardonnay to match the savoury flavours of roasted veg, grilled meats such as chicken and pork, or some nice buttery seafood dishes, whilst still retaining enough fresh acidity to cleanse the palate.
