Sidewood Estate Chardonnay 2025

Sidewood’s portfolio of 2025 Adelaide Hills Chardonnay is again on song given this first tier given this first tier Estate iteration, which shows both regional, varietal and winemaking interest from the very first approach. Sourced from several estate vineyards across the Hills’ central districts, is a warmer year than several preceding seasons, there’s a depth and richness in the aromatics, roasted peach, grilled cashew and Brazil nuts before yellow grapefruit juice tang energises the flow and freshens out the finish. An accessible and sparky expression of the region and variety.
