The 2023 Ashton Hills Reserve Chardonnay is a premium Adelaide Hills Chardonnay crafted from the finest barrels of select Piccadilly Valley vineyards, showcasing precision, texture and cool-climate elegance. The nose is highly expressive with aromas of white peach, nectarine and grapefruit layered alongside jasmine, vanilla cream, cashew and flinty mineral complexity.
On the palate, it is concentrated yet beautifully restrained, with vibrant citrus and stone fruit flavours supported by creamy texture, fine French oak and bright natural acidity. Subtle spice, chalky minerality and a long, refined finish give the wine exceptional balance and sophistication. The style is polished, modern and distinctly cool-climate, offering both immediate appeal and outstanding ageing potential.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an exceptional Australian Chardonnay for customers seeking a refined, Burgundian-inspired style with finesse, texture and cellar potential. Elegant yet richly detailed, it pairs beautifully with lobster, roast chicken, creamy seafood dishes or fine dining cuisine. Drink now with decanting or cellar confidently over the next 8–10 years.
