The 2024 Mountadam Five-Fifty Chardonnay is a fresh and elegant Eden Valley Chardonnay crafted from high-altitude vineyards at 550 metres above sea level, delivering purity, balance and classic cool-climate character. The nose is bright and inviting, showing white peach, pear and nectarine layered with citrus, subtle vanilla, lemon butter and gentle spice.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with vibrant stone fruit flavours, soft creamy texture and refreshing acidity that keeps the wine lively and balanced. Hints of oak and lees complexity add depth without overpowering the fresh fruit profile, leading to a smooth and polished finish. The style is modern, approachable and food-friendly, offering richness with freshness and finesse.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent everyday premium Chardonnay for customers who enjoy fresh Australian styles with subtle oak influence and clean fruit expression. Perfect with roast chicken, grilled seafood, creamy pasta or soft cheeses. Drink now or over the next 3–5 years for added complexity.
