The 2025 Yabby Lake Tasmania Coal River Chardonnay is an elegant Australian white wine from Tasmania's Coal River Valley, produced by Yabby Lake Vineyard. Crafted from Chardonnay, this wine reflects the region's cool maritime climate and long ripening season, which encourage vibrant acidity and refined fruit development. Its anticipated aromatic profile suggests fresh white peach, crisp green apple, ripe pear and lemon zest, complemented by delicate notes of citrus blossom, toasted hazelnut and subtle flint.
On the palate, it is expected to be medium-bodied with a finely textured mouthfeel and refreshing acidity. Flavours of white nectarine, juicy pear, grapefruit and lemon curd unfold alongside hints of toasted almond, subtle creaminess and delicate mineral notes. Its orchard-fruit character is balanced by bright citrus freshness, creating a harmonious Chardonnay with elegance and understated richness. The finish is dry and persistent, leaving lingering impressions of stone fruit, citrus peel and gentle savoury spice.
