The Lane Vineyard Adelaide Hills Chardonnay 2025

This one had me as soon as I brought these heady aromas to the nose. Obviously, it’s influenced by the cool climate of the Adelaide Hills, and immediately strikes with a combination of light lemon curd, citrus and stone fruit, with a little apple-y character most evident. The palate brings in a more savory complexity with light cashew notes. It has texture, but then there is that crisp acidity which provides the definition to extend through to a sustained finish. Beautifully balanced and most stylish.
