Ari Gold
2025 Chardonnay
LIMESTONE COAST, SOUTH AUSTRALIA
A vibrant, pale green Chardonnay with elegance and intensity in equal measure. Lifted aromatics of stone fruit and melon are complemented by floral citrus notes, with gentle nuances of nougat and finely integrated oak spice. The palate is generous and fruit-driven, showing ripe stone fruit and citrus with creamy lees-derived texture, balanced by fine acidity and a bright, elegant finish. A refined expression of the Limestone Coast.
Winemaking
Harvested cool to enhance fruit expression. Fermentation was kept cool for aromatics, then transferred to French barrels. Time on yeast lees added complexity and depth to the palate.
Colour
Pale gold with subtle green hues.
Cellaring potential
Drink now to 2028.
