The 2025 Silkman Estate Chardonnay is a contemporary Hunter Valley Chardonnay from New South Wales, sourced from selected vineyards across the region. The nose shows subtle melon and citrus with hints of sherbet, pastry and gentle reduction, creating a fresh yet complex aromatic profile.
On the palate, it is rich yet balanced, with grapefruit, nectarine and Granny Smith apple supported by lively acidity. Brioche and vanilla bean notes add texture and depth through the finish, giving the wine a generous but elegant expression of Hunter Valley Chardonnay. Alcohol is 12.5%.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for those who enjoy modern Australian Chardonnay with stone fruit, citrus freshness and subtle savoury complexity. Enjoy now or allow it to develop over the next few years. Ideal with roast pork, seafood pasta, grilled fish, roast chicken or soft cheeses.
