LS Merchants Butter Barrels Chardonnay 2025 from Margaret River is a full‑tilt, flavour‑packed style – rich, creamy and hedonistic while still carrying that coastal freshness that keeps each glass in balance. LS Merchants Butter Barrels Chardonnay 2025 is all golden peach, mango, baked lemon, vanilla cream and toasted spice, with a lovely buttery gloss that lives up to the name.

In the mouth it’s generous and mouth‑filling, layered with ripe stone fruit, crème brûlée, grilled nuts and a lick of smoky oak, all stitched together by a clean acid line so it never feels flat or gloopy. The texture is plush and creamy with a long, savoury, nutty finish that Chardonnay lovers who like a bit of old‑school decadence will absolutely lap up.

For food, LS Merchants Butter Barrels Chardonnay 2025 is made for richer dishes – think roast chook with stuffing, garlic butter crayfish, creamy seafood pasta, carbonara, potato gratin or mushroom risotto. It’s also superb with soft‑rind cheeses and an indulgent cheese board, where that combination of butter, fruit and oak wraps seamlessly around salt and fat and keeps you coming back.
