2025 Single Vineyard 'Briar Hill' Chardonnay
From our finest block in the Hunter Valley, this Chardonnay is a true classic. Crafted with precision to define a vintage, showcase the elegance of its region, and become a cherished favourite in any cellar for years to come.
Green apple on white peach, the wine is alluringly reductive with nuances of lime like acidity and great persistence. Matured in French oak, the result is a powerful, decadent yet restrained Hunter Valley Chardonnay filled with complex savoury characters, white peach, and flinty aromas.
Thyme roast chicken or smoked mozzarella crostini.
Our Single Vineyard Chardonnay block is grown on well-drained sandy loam soils located in the heart of Hunter Valley wine country NSW. It is our vineyard’s best block of Chardonnay, south facing and planted on a 450-million-year-old marine fossil ridge. The crop yields are relatively low, producing excellent concentration of fruit flavour.
The 2025 vintage in the Hunter Valley was shaped by well-balanced growing conditions and attentive vineyard management. The season delivered clean, well-ripened fruit across the region, with an early harvest that flowed smoothly. Quality fruit integrity and even ripening were maintained throughout, resulting in well‑structured grapes with depth, clarity, and regional character.
