2024 Hesketh Small Batch Adelaide Hills Chardonnay is a cool-climate Australian Chardonnay sourced from premium vineyard sites in the Adelaide Hills, including areas like Piccadilly Valley and Paracombe. These high-altitude sites contribute to the wine’s freshness, structure, and aromatic precision.
The wine is crafted in a modern Australian style, balancing bright fruit with subtle winemaking influence. Expect notes of white peach, nectarine, citrus zest, and melon, layered with hints of toasted almond, vanilla, and light oak spice. It typically shows a creamy texture from partial oak maturation, while maintaining vibrant acidity and a clean, focused finish.
