Nick Haselgrove Blackbilly Chardonnay captures the modern energy of McLaren Vale through the hands of one of South Australia’s most respected winemakers. Sourced from the cooler Blewitt Springs area, this Adelaide Chardonnay delivers far more personality and finesse than its price suggests. Nick Haselgrove has built the Blackbilly range around expressive fruit, texture and drinkability, and this release absolutely nails that brief with a style that feels both contemporary and confidently regional.

The nose opens with white peach, pineapple and lemon curd layered with cashew, flinty reduction and a creamy washed rind nuance that gives the wine genuine complexity. The palate is crisp yet generously textured, showing guava, stone fruit and citrus pith wrapped around bright natural acidity. This Blackbilly Chardonnay finishes clean, savoury and moreish, making it an easy choice for lovers of modern Australian Chardonnay with freshness and restraint.

Serve this alongside blue swimmer crab linguine, roast chicken, creamy seafood pasta or ripe soft cheeses. It is a brilliant entertaining wine and an even better fridge staple for lovers of elegant South Australian Chardonnay.
