The 2025 Kaesler Stonehorse Chardonnay is a fresh and beautifully balanced Clare Valley Chardonnay sourced from Kaesler’s estate vineyard in the renowned Watervale sub-region. Crafted in a vibrant modern Australian style, the wine combines bright fruit purity with subtle texture and freshness, showcasing the excellent flavour concentration delivered by the warm and dry 2025 vintage. Gentle lees ageing and careful winemaking add softness and complexity while preserving the wine’s lively citrus-driven character.
The nose reveals citrus blossom, white peach and melon layered with hints of orange blossom, cashew and subtle spice. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and elegant with fresh acidity, soft texture and a clean mineral edge. Layers of stone fruit, lemon zest and honeydew melon unfold with balance and freshness, finishing smooth, vibrant and quietly creamy with excellent drinkability.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2025 Kaesler Stonehorse Chardonnay is a polished and approachable Australian Chardonnay — fresh, textural and incredibly versatile. Perfect for lovers of modern fruit-driven Chardonnay with freshness rather than heavy oak. Excellent with roast chicken, creamy pasta, grilled seafood or soft cheeses. Enjoy now and over the next 3–4 years.
