The 2025 Emmalene Chardonnay is a fresh, cool-climate Adelaide Hills Chardonnay, crafted from sustainably farmed vineyards with a focus on purity and balance. A portion of the wine is matured in 30% new oak, adding subtle richness while preserving vibrant fruit character. The nose opens with aromas of ripe peach, melon and lemon zest, complemented by hints of brioche, vanilla and toasted nuts.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a creamy texture, bright natural acidity and excellent freshness. Flavours of white peach, citrus and crisp melon are supported by gentle oak, delivering notes of buttery brioche and a touch of spice before a smooth, lingering finish. The balance of fruit, texture and acidity makes it an approachable yet refined Chardonnay.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for anyone looking for an elegant, easy-drinking Adelaide Hills Chardonnay with freshness and subtle complexity. Pair it with grilled prawns, roast chicken, creamy pasta or baked salmon. Enjoy it now for its vibrant fruit and silky texture, or cellar for 3–5 years to develop additional richness and complexity.
