The 2025 Irvine Estate Altitude Chardonnay is a refined Eden Valley Chardonnay crafted in a fresh cool-climate Australian style. Sourced from elevated vineyards in South Australia, the wine highlights bright stone fruit, citrus purity and subtle oak influence, with the region’s cooler conditions helping preserve natural acidity and mineral structure.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with crisp acidity and a smooth, layered texture, delivering flavours of nectarine, peach, preserved lemon and grapefruit alongside subtle toast, brioche and gentle mineral notes. Light oak maturation adds complexity and structure without overpowering the fruit, leading to a clean, balanced and elegant finish.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent Chardonnay for customers who enjoy fresh, cool-climate styles with balanced fruit, subtle oak and bright natural acidity. Eden Valley gives the wine elegance and precision while maintaining generous flavour and texture. Best enjoyed over the next 3–5 years. Ideal with grilled fish, roast chicken, creamy pasta dishes or soft cheeses.
