Description

Joshua Cooper’s 2025 Regional Release Chardonnay is another banger from one of the true superstar producers in Victoria.

Sourced entirely from the weathered granite slopes of Dash Farms, it actually shares the exact same DNA as his upcoming single-vineyard release, but it is made with earlier drinking in mind. He gave the fruit a slightly longer pressing and aged it in a mix of old French oak and stainless steel to keep the focus firmly on the fruit and texture rather than the barrel.

This is classy, ready to rip Chardonnay. The palate is sharp and focused, showing bright citrus and faint green almond. Despite that precision, it carries a really nice, finely textured mouthfeel that coats the palate and lingers on the finish without feeling heavy or overworked.

It is a beautiful, highly drinkable Chardonnay to open right now, but it has the concentration and shape to comfortably handle some medium-term cellaring if you want to hold onto it.

"Delicious drinking... Delightful. Everything just so. Good freshness too. Happy days."
- Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)

93 points - "Delicious drinking. Lemon curd, lemongrass, lemon verbena with dashes of red apple, peach, vanilla and touches of flint with saline minerality. It’s got a nice haze to texture, a gentle and soft flow, a touch diffuse perhaps but refreshing anyways. Perfume rolls out with green apple, green mango, salted cashew and faint clove and herbal lift. Delightful. Everything just so. Good freshness too. Happy days." - Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)

Our 2025 Chardonnay was sourced entirely from the weathered granite slopes of the Dash Farms vineyard - the same site as our single vineyard offering (to be released later in the year).



A slightly longer pressing and ageing solely in a combination of old French oak and stainless steel has resulted in a beautiful Chardonnay with all the hallmarks of our house style, while also presenting a wonderful drinkability in youth.


Aromatically floral and inviting with jasmine blossom, lemon zest and subtle crushed stone, the palate is focused and precise, with lemon and faint green almond flavours, yet offers lovely concentration of flavour and finely mouth coating texture. Cellar into the medium term or enjoy now in youth.
