2025 Patrick Sullivan Flint Chardonnay

2025 Patrick Sullivan Flint Chardonnay is a refined cool-climate Australian Chardonnay that showcases precision, minerality, and elegant texture. Crafted by respected Victorian winemaker Patrick Sullivan, this wine highlights fruit from the volcanic and limestone-rich soils of the Mount Gambier area along the Limestone Coast, a region shaped by ancient eruptions and cooled by the nearby Southern Ocean. These unique geological conditions produce Chardonnay with bright acidity, citrus freshness, and a distinctive mineral character.

On the nose, the wine opens with aromas of lime, lemon, grapefruit, and white peach, layered with hints of hazelnut, vanilla custard, and lightly toasted brioche. The palate is vibrant and precise, combining citrus and stone-fruit flavours with chalky minerality and zesty acidity. Gentle lees texture and restrained oak add depth without overpowering the wine’s fresh, mineral core.

Elegant and expressive, the Patrick Sullivan Flint Chardonnay 2025 is a modern Australian Chardonnay style often compared to Chablis-inspired wines for its tension, purity, and flinty mineral structure. It pairs beautifully with grilled seafood, roast chicken, scallops, or creamy mushroom dishes.
