The 2025 Mezzo Chardonnay is a fresh, approachable cool-climate Chardonnay sourced from vineyards across South Australia's Limestone Coast, where terra rossa soils over limestone and cool maritime influences produce fruit with excellent natural balance. Fermented primarily in stainless steel, with a small portion briefly matured in French oak, the wine retains its vibrant fruit while gaining subtle texture and complexity. The nose is bright and inviting, revealing aromas of citrus, white peach and nectarine with gentle creamy notes and a hint of vanilla.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with crisp natural acidity and a smooth, rounded texture. Flavours of ripe stone fruit and citrus are complemented by subtle oak spice and a clean mineral edge, finishing fresh, balanced and wonderfully easy to enjoy. Elegant and fruit-driven, it is a versatile Chardonnay that offers excellent value and immediate appeal.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2025 Mezzo Chardonnay is an ideal everyday Chardonnay that pairs beautifully with grilled chicken, seafood, creamy pasta, roast pork or soft cheeses. Serve lightly chilled and enjoy now through 2029 while its vibrant fruit and fresh acidity are at their best.
