Mitchelton Estate Single Vineyard Chardonnay 2025 from Nagambie Lakes, Central Victoria, is a sleek, modern Aussie Chardonnay that balances generous stone fruit flavour with a tight, mineral edge – classy stuff for the price and very much a dinner–table white.

In the glass, Mitchelton Estate Single Vineyard Chardonnay 2025 shows pale straw colour with aromas of yellow peach, nectarine and ripe citrus, layered with lightly toasted cashew, jasmine blossom and a subtle gun–flint, chalky mineral note. The palate is rounded and silken, packed with ripe stone fruits and delicate florals, all pulled into line by taut, flinty acidity that drives a clean, elegant finish.

Food–wise, Mitchelton Estate Single Vineyard Chardonnay 2025 is spot–on with roast chicken, pan–fried barramundi, grilled prawns, creamy pasta, roast cauliflower or soft–rind cheeses, where its combination of texture, oak spice and fresh acidity really shines. It also has the structure to cellar a few years, gaining nuttier, more complex savoury layers while retaining that regional freshness.
