The Kooyong Clonale Mornington Peninsula Chardonnay 2025 is a beautifully refined cool-climate Chardonnay that showcases the purity, precision and elegance of one of Australia's premier Chardonnay regions. Blended from Kooyong's renowned Tuerong and Balnarring vineyards, this exceptional release reflects a near-perfect 2025 growing season, where ideal rainfall, warm conditions and meticulous vineyard management delivered fruit of remarkable concentration, balance and finesse.

Handpicked fruit was gently whole-bunch pressed before undergoing wild fermentation in French oak barriques and puncheons, including 14% new oak. Matured on lees until bottling without fining and with minimal filtration, the wine preserves its natural texture, complexity and vineyard character while expressing the hallmark sophistication of Mornington Peninsula Chardonnay.

The bouquet is vibrant and inviting, revealing aromas of lime, grapefruit and white peach, complemented by subtle flinty reduction and elegant notes of grilled nuts, toast and nougat. The palate is generous yet beautifully poised, delivering concentrated citrus and stone fruit flavours framed by a fine chalky mineral texture. Carefully integrated French oak and bright natural acidity provide exceptional balance, driving a long, precise and effortlessly elegant finish.

Critically acclaimed, the 2025 vintage has been awarded 93 Points by Jane Faulkner in the Halliday Wine Companion, 93 Points by Gary Walsh of The Wine Front, 93 Points by James Suckling and 92 Points by Gabrielle Poy of The Real Review. These outstanding reviews reinforce Kooyong's reputation as one of Australia's leading producers of premium cool-climate Chardonnay.
