2022 Shadowfax Midhill Chardonnay

The 2022 Shadowfax Midhill Chardonnay is a striking single-vineyard Macedon Ranges Chardonnay that showcases the precision, minerality and intensity of one of Australia’s premier cool-climate regions. The nose is highly aromatic and complex, revealing white florals, lemon zest and grapefruit pith layered with flinty reduction, toasted nuts and subtle lees-derived pastry notes.

On the palate, it is tightly focused and beautifully textured with vibrant citrus, sherbet-like acidity and a powerful mineral core balanced by creamy wild ferment complexity and finely integrated French oak. The finish is long, saline and intensely refined, delivering both concentration and finesse. The style is modern and sophisticated, combining energy, tension and elegance with exceptional ageing potential.

Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding Chardonnay for customers who enjoy premium cool-climate styles with minerality, texture and Burgundian precision. Perfect with lobster, scallops, roast chicken, creamy seafood pasta or fine dining occasions. Drink now with decanting or cellar over the next 8–10 years for added complexity and savoury development.
