The Brokenwood Area Blend Chardonnay 2025 is a refined cool-climate Chardonnay that highlights the meticulous winemaking philosophy of one of Australia's most respected wineries. Sourced predominantly from Beechworth, with a complementary parcel from the Hunter Valley, the fruit was harvested earlier to preserve vibrant natural acidity and purity. Fermented using natural yeast in French oak barrels, with 32% new oak and a small portion in stainless steel, the result is a Chardonnay of elegance, precision and exceptional balance.

Pale green in the glass, the wine opens with lifted aromas of fresh grapefruit and citrus blossom. The palate is bright and finely textured, showcasing juicy citrus flavours layered with subtle bran meal and beautifully integrated French oak. Vibrant natural acidity provides energy and length, creating a pure, refreshing finish that lingers with finesse. This is a modern Australian Chardonnay that perfectly balances fruit intensity with restrained oak and outstanding freshness.

Ideal with grilled seafood, roast chicken, creamy pasta, pork dishes or soft cheeses, the Brokenwood Area Blend Chardonnay 2025 is an exceptional choice for lovers of premium Australian Chardonnay. Delicious now, it also has the structure to reward careful cellaring over the coming years.
