Stonehaven Stepping Stone Chardonnay 2025 from the Limestone Coast is a fruity, creamy, medium‑bodied Chardonnay that delivers a lot of flavour for the money while keeping things vibrant and easygoing. It is a classic “fridge white” that still has enough texture to handle food nicely.

In the glass, expect crisp apple and stonefruit aromas leading into ripe melon, peach, apricot, passionfruit and ripe apple on the palate, all lightly wrapped in vanilla spice and a gentle creamy feel. The finish is long and engaging, with the summer‑fruit richness kept in check by fresh acidity so it stays moreish rather than heavy.

This Stepping Stone Chardonnay 2025 is made for grilled white meats, creamy pasta dishes, roast chicken and grilled seafood, and it also works well with soft cheeses or a simple antipasto plate. At its price point, especially on multi‑buy deals, it offers “plenty of bang for your buck” for relaxed drinking at home in Adelaide.
