It’s a flavoursome chardonnay, but also feels effortless and fine, even with its more generous persona. A wine to sit back and relax with, and enjoy all the elements unfurling.

Citrus and white peach sit at the core, layered with struck match, almond meal and a fine saline edge that speaks directly of its site. The palate is taut and driving, framed by crystalline acidity, yet there’s a creamy, flowing texture that gives the wine its quiet power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is Chardonnay that balances precision with depth – made to cellar but irresistible in its youth.

The Ada River site is a tiny, one-hectare patch of dry-grown vines planted back in 1982. Sitting at 300m elevation on deep, red volcanic soils, it’s protected from the harsh snowfield winds by 360-degree windbreaks, allowing the fruit to develop incredible concentration without losing its cool-climate nerve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2025 is a wine of real authority. It leads with white peach and citrus zest, but there’s a sophisticated savoury edge - think toasted hazelnut and a flicker of delicate spice. Pat gave this 10 months in barrique with 30% new oak, and while that provides a sturdy frame, it’s the volcanic \"crunch\" and mineral drive that defines the finish. This is about fruit, first and foremost, the oak a secondary player.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s a powerful Chardonnay that manages to stay bright and fresh. We’ve always loved how Pat lets these Gippsland sites speak for themselves, and the Ada River feels particularly settled and commanding this year.

Now 40 years old, these vines on sandy loam soil produce fruit with serious concentration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is 100% barrel fermented in a mix of new and old French oak, with monthly lees stirring and partial malolactic fermentation.

While it sits as the entry point to the range, this is still 100% hand-picked, whole-bunch pressed, and barrel-fermented Gin-Gin clone fruit. It pulls together three top-tier sites, including Nic's top sites from Wilyabrup and Metricup, along with a cooler parcel from Karridale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the winery, Nic treats this with the same level of detail as his single-vineyard releases. It spends 10 months in seasoned French oak (with a small portion in amphora) and gets the full lees-stirring treatment every fortnight. By skipping malolactic fermentation, he’s kept the wine incredibly zippy and fresh, avoiding any of that heavy, buttery weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a Chardonnay that feels more open and approachable than the tightly coiled 'Wildberry Springs' but carries much more detail than your average regional blend. It’s got classic Margaret River ripe citrus and juicy stone fruit wrapped in a slightly salty, textured frame.
