Kings Hill McLaren Vale Chardonnay 2025 Dozen

The Kings Hill McLaren Vale Chardonnay 2025 is a bold and expressive single-vineyard release crafted on the limestone and terra rossa slopes just outside the township of Willunga, where Kings Hill wines originate. These soils contribute natural structure, purity and finesse, setting the stage for a Chardonnay that celebrates richness, texture and old-school charm while still delivering freshness and vibrancy.From the first swirl, the aromas open generously with butterscotch, ripe peach and lemon curd, accented by warm vanilla and subtle toast from careful maturation in a combination of American and French oak hogsheads. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, creamy and beautifully layered, showing plush stonefruit, sweet citrus and a luxurious buttery line that brings back the classic McLaren Vale Chardonnay style. The oak influence adds depth and complexity without overwhelming the fruit, creating an elegant balance that carries through to a long, silky finish.The richness of the palate makes this Chardonnay a perfect match for dishes such as grilled lobster, creamy chicken saltimbocca, prawn linguine or chargrilled corn with herb butter, with the wine’s smooth texture and vibrant acidity elevating each mouthful. Crafted to enjoy now yet built with enough structure for graceful short-term cellaring, it represents everything Chardonnay lovers seek from McLaren Vale: generosity, flavour, and the kind of comforting, old-school buttery character that has become a rare treat in modern Australian Chardonnay.Its single-vineyard provenance, maturation in premium American and French oak barrels, and its signature full-flavoured profile make the Kings Hill McLaren Vale Chardonnay 2025 a standout for collectors and everyday drinkers alike—rich, fruit-driven, and unmistakably McLaren Vale in every sense.
