Heirloom Vineyard Assen’s Fortalice Adelaide Hills Chardonnay 2025 is a thrilling expression of cool climate precision, crafted by Heirloom Winery in the Adelaide Hills with real intent and confidence, delivering a modern Australian Chardonnay that balances power and finesse while capturing the elevated freshness of this celebrated region.

Aromas of white peach, nectarine and citrus blossom lead into layers of lemon curd, roasted cashew and subtle struck match complexity. The palate is finely shaped with vibrant natural acidity, creamy oak integration and a mineral line that keeps everything taut and focused, making this premium Adelaide Hills Chardonnay both refined and deeply satisfying.

This wine shines alongside roast chicken, butter-poached lobster or grilled king prawns, while its balance and texture make it equally compelling with mushroom risotto or aged comté. Built for immediate pleasure yet capable of short-term cellaring, this premium Chardonnay offers serious quality and undeniable drink-now appeal.
