The Shanahans Butter Wouldn’t Melt Eden Valley Chardonnay 2024 is a luxurious single-vineyard expression from the cool-climate High Eden, sitting at 550 metres above sea level. Fruit was harvested in the cool of night and barrel fermented in French oak hogsheads and puncheons, with 50% new oak and regular lees stirring to build depth and texture. Only the finest barrels were selected for this limited release, with just 300 dozen produced.
In the glass, it shows pale straw hues with an elegant bouquet of white peach, nectarine, and citrus, layered with butter, lemon curd, nougat, vanillin, and crushed stone. On the palate, pure citrus and stone fruits lead the way, supported by lacy acidity that drives freshness and length. The finish is refined, dry, and savoury, balancing richness with precision. Awarded 96 Points & Gold Medal by Wine Showcase Magazine, this Chardonnay is drinking beautifully now but has the structure to evolve gracefully over the next five years.
From a trophy-winning, family-owned producer, this is a cool-climate Chardonnay that highlights balance, finesse, and restrained power. Perfect with roast chicken, creamy seafood pasta, or a decadent cheese platter.

"Pleasing butterscotch aromas that are fresh and lifted. Attractive palate full of fruit and toasty notes with lovely crisp acid."
93 Point Rated & 5 Stars - Sam Kim Wine Orbit
"It's generously fruited and fragrant with aromas of golden peach, mango, lemon peel, vanilla, and roasted hazelnuts. The palate delivers excellent weight and succulent fruit flavours, splendidly supported by a creamy texture and fine acidity, finishing lingering and flavoursome. At its best: now to 2030. $40.00. www.shanahanswines.com.au. Oct 2025."
95 Point Rated & 5 Stars - Russell Gallagher Vinomasters
"Bright pale gold. A poised and sophisticated expression of Eden Valley Chardonnay. The bouquet opens with pristine stone fruit; white peach and nectarine layered with lemon curd, citrus blossom and finely judged, subtle oak. There is an underlying flinty mineral note that adds quiet complexity and regional definition.
The palate is beautifully textural and composed. A creamy, seamless mouthfeel is balanced by firm, refreshing acidity that carries the fruit with precision. Layers of ripe stone fruit, cashews and citrus build gradually through the mid-palate before a line of mineral tension tightens and focuses the structure. Oak is impeccably integrated, contributing gentle spice and polish without overshadowing the fruit.
The finish is long, refined and harmonious, leaving a lingering impression of purity and balance. A confident, elegant Eden Valley Chardonnay with both immediate appeal and cellaring potential. Drink now to 2032."
