"A deliciously mineral and slippery drink. An array of citrus and complexity lined with a fantastic backbone of acidity. Perhaps a bottle to be consumed by yourself.
The fruit is handpicked & whole bunch pressed. The barrel percentage is 33% new, made from Allier & Vouge French forests. Natural fermentation occurs over two months in our underground cellar, & once this is finished a small amount of lees stirring helps start a 100% malolactic fermentation. After 11 months in barrel, the wine is racked, fined & light filtered before bottling." - Nick Farr, Winemaker
"The 2025 Irrewarra Chardonnay is brilliant. Lovely white gold in the glass the palate cool from the fridge yet immediately giving. It has a softness that defers to finer notes of acidity, ripe citrus and barley sugar; delicate honey and creaminess. In a world where making everyone happy is next to impossible, this wine, in my opinion goes as close to universal appeal as it can. Generosity combined with finesse, flavour and restraint. It may seem contradictory, but this is a wine in which you see that conflict play out in the glass. It’s very, very delicious. As always, the big problem will be getting enough to drink and also keep some in the cellar. I found myself glugging rather than sipping, as it is such a pleasure to drink." - Pure, Distributor
