The 2025 Battle of Bosworth Chardonnay is sourced from certified organic estate vineyards in McLaren Vale, where the Bosworth family has been farming organically for decades. Fermented wild in French oak and aged on lees, the wine reflects the estate’s commitment to producing expressive, terroir-driven wines that balance richness with freshness. It is a more refined and complex style than many expect from the region, showcasing both texture and precision.
The nose reveals white peach, nectarine and ripe pear alongside notes of toasted hazelnut, nougat and citrus blossom. The palate is generous yet beautifully balanced, combining stone fruit richness with creamy texture, fresh acidity and a lingering citrus-driven finish. Marcus Ellis awarded the wine 90 points, praising its flavour, tension and balance, while its organic credentials and thoughtful winemaking add further appeal.
Ben’s Recommendation:
A superb value organic Chardonnay that delivers impressive flavour and complexity without sacrificing freshness. Rich enough for Chardonnay lovers yet balanced enough for everyday drinking, it pairs beautifully with roast chicken, grilled prawns, creamy seafood pasta, scallops and soft cheeses. Enjoy now and over the next 3–5 years while its fruit and texture are at their peak.
