The 2022 Tonic Wines Adelaide Hills Chardonnay is a modern, cool-climate Australian Chardonnay crafted in a minimal-intervention style, showcasing precision, freshness, and energy. The nose is bright and expressive, offering lime, green apple, and white peach, layered with delicate floral notes and a subtle saline edge.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a textured yet taut profile, combining citrus-driven fruit with vibrant acidity and a fine mineral backbone, leading to a long, crisp, and focused finish. The style is lean, elegant, and food-friendly, emphasizing tension and purity over richness.
Ben’s Recommendation:
A great pick for customers who enjoy fresh, mineral-driven Chardonnay in a modern Australian style. Best enjoyed now or over the next 3–5 years. Perfect with seafood, roast chicken, or light creamy dishes.
