The 2025 vintage of our Melba Block Chardonnay reflects the unique climatic conditions of the year. An early, warm spring led into a summer defined by intense heat and prolonged dry periods through January and February. These conditions resulted in smaller, highly concentrated berries with exceptional flavor density. Harvested at the peak of ripeness, this fruit represents the power and resilience of our Melba Block under the Yarra Valley sun.

Our 2025 Melba Block Chardonnay is a gorgeous expression of the vintage. From the initial smell right through to the final sip, this wine oozes elegance and sophistication, delivered through a lens of remarkable richness. It opens with captivating aromas of delicate rose petal, nectarine, and toasted hazelnuts derived from wild yeast fermentation, leading to a palate brimming with sun-ripened yellow peach, savory roasted cashew, and a touch of lemon curd.

These vibrant flavors are enhanced by an earthy, wild-ferment complexity and balanced by a silky, medium-to-full-bodied mouthfeel with a soft, integrated acidity and a long, warming finish. Whether enjoyed on its own or paired with a meal, it promises to be a delightful addition to any occasion. It pairs wonderfully with richer dishes such as butter-poached lobster, roast chicken with garlic and thyme, or a creamy pumpkin and sage pasta. For a more casual pairing, try it with a cheese platter featuring bold, aged cheddars or a decadent d'Affinois.
