The 2025 Lenton Brae Margaret River Chardonnay is a fresh and beautifully balanced cool-climate Chardonnay that captures the purity and elegance of the Wilyabrup sub-region. Produced by one of Margaret River’s longstanding family-owned estates, the wine is crafted in a modern style that focuses on vibrant fruit, restrained oak and fine natural acidity. The warm yet balanced 2025 vintage delivered excellent flavour concentration while preserving freshness and aromatic lift, resulting in a Chardonnay with both immediate appeal and refined structure.
The nose reveals citrus blossom, white peach and kaffir lime layered with cashew, lemongrass and subtle creamy lees complexity. On the palate, it is bright and generous with lively acidity, soft texture and a fine mineral line running throughout. Layers of mandarin, pink grapefruit and stone fruit unfold with freshness and balance, finishing clean, vibrant and quietly creamy with excellent drinkability and finesse.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2025 Lenton Brae Margaret River Chardonnay is a polished and highly approachable Australian Chardonnay — fresh, textural and beautifully balanced without excessive oak. Perfect with grilled seafood, roast chicken, creamy pasta or soft cheeses. Enjoy now for its youthful vibrancy or over the next 4–6 years.
