The 2025 Forest Hill Vineyard Block 8 Chardonnay is a premium cool-climate Chardonnay from Mount Barker in Western Australia’s Great Southern region, crafted from one of Forest Hill’s distinguished vineyard blocks. Elegant and expressive, it opens with aromas of white stone fruit, lemon curd and citrus blossom layered with hints of brioche, flint and subtle oak complexity.
On the palate is refined and mineral-driven, showing grilled nectarine, pithy citrus and a creamy texture balanced by vibrant acidity and a long, saline finish. The style is polished and precise, combining richness with freshness in classic cool-climate fashion.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding Chardonnay for customers who enjoy modern Australian styles with restraint, minerality and finesse rather than heavy oak. It offers beautiful balance and food versatility, making it ideal with seafood, roast chicken, creamy pasta or soft cheeses. Enjoy now or cellar over the next 6–10 years.
