The Springwood Park Adelaide Hills Chardonnay 2025 is an elegant expression of cool-climate winemaking, showcasing the finesse and complexity that this iconic Australian region is known for. The fruit was machine harvested in the cool of the night to preserve natural acidity, ensuring the wine's vibrant freshness. Once at the winery, the grapes were destemmed and pressed into stainless steel tanks, where they were inoculated with select yeast strains. The fermentation process took place with wild yeast in French oak barrels, adding depth and complexity to the wine.

After fermentation, the wine was aged on lees for 3 months, with regular stirring to enhance its textural mouthfeel and complexity. This technique, combined with a blend of stainless steel and oak, ensures a wine that is both fresh and layered, with a beautiful balance of fruit and subtle oak influence. The final wine is a cool-climate barrel-fermented Chardonnay, offering an expressive array of flavours.

The wine presents vibrant stone fruits and nectarine, complemented by refreshing citrus notes of grapefruit and lime, along with hints of apple and pear. The finish is crisp and clean, supported by a citrusy acidity that balances the richness of the wine. The mouthfeel is textural, with a creamy mid-palate framed by the subtle influence of French oak tannins, creating a wine that is complex yet approachable.

The previous vintage of this Chardonnay was awarded 96 points and a Gold Medal at the Wine Showcase Magazine, an outstanding recognition of its quality. It also received 93 points and 5 Stars from Sam Kim at Wine Orbit, further solidifying its place as one of the premier Chardonnays from the region.

Ideal for pairing with grilled seafood, roast chicken, and creamy pasta dishes, the Springwood Park Adelaide Hills Chardonnay 2025 is a versatile wine that can be enjoyed now or aged to develop even more complexity. Its fresh acidity and rich texture make it the perfect choice for both casual sipping and sophisticated dining occasions.

This wine is a testament to the elegance and quality that the Adelaide Hills is known for, delivering a beautifully balanced and complex Chardonnay that reflects the region’s unique terroir.
