The 2025 Circulus Chardonnay is an estate-grown, cool-climate Chardonnay from the maritime-influenced Bellarine Peninsula in Victoria. The nose shows fresh citrus, white peach and nectarine with subtle floral, mineral and gentle oak notes, reflecting the vineyard’s long growing season and cooling coastal influence.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with bright acidity, fresh stone fruit and citrus flavours supported by a gently creamy texture. Circulus wild ferments its Chardonnay in barrel using a range of oak treatments, adding savoury complexity while maintaining freshness and varietal character. The finish is clean, mineral and finely balanced.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for Chardonnay drinkers who enjoy fresh, cool-climate styles with texture and restrained oak. Pair with grilled snapper, prawns, roast chicken, creamy pasta or mushroom dishes, and enjoy young or over the next few years.
