2025 Domaine Naturaliste Discovery Chardonnay

The 2025 Domaine Naturaliste Discovery Chardonnay is a fresh and approachable Margaret River Chardonnay crafted by acclaimed winemaker Bruce Dukes. Sourced from select vineyards across the region, the wine is designed to showcase the vibrant fruit, natural acidity and coastal elegance that have made Margaret River one of Australia’s premier Chardonnay regions. Careful oak handling and minimal intervention preserve purity and drinkability while adding subtle complexity.

The nose reveals white peach, nectarine and lemon zest alongside notes of citrus blossom and subtle cashew. The palate is bright and beautifully balanced, combining ripe stone fruit with refreshing acidity and a gentle mineral edge. Hints of grapefruit, almond and light oak spice add texture and complexity, while the finish remains clean, vibrant and effortlessly appealing.

Ben’s Recommendation:
A stylish and versatile Chardonnay that offers exceptional value and immediate enjoyment. Fresh, vibrant and food-friendly, it pairs beautifully with grilled seafood, roast chicken, creamy pasta dishes and soft cheeses. Enjoy now and over the next 4–6 years while its bright fruit, freshness and elegance are at their peak.
