Ponting ‘Top Order’ Chardonnay 2025 from the Adelaide Hills is a classy, modern Aussie Chardonnay – fragrant, finely weighted and properly moreish, with that cool‑climate line keeping everything in check. This Ponting Top Order Chardonnay 2025 is all about elegance and texture rather than blousy oak, built for both easy drinking and a bit of contemplation.

In the glass you’re looking at white peach, nectarine and lemon curd with hints of grapefruit, nougat, cashew and a gentle creamy, vanillin oak lift. The palate is medium‑bodied and layered, showing stonefruit, citrus and a touch of ripe melon wrapped in soft oak spice, fine texture and bright natural acidity that keeps the finish long, savoury and fresh.

Ponting ‘Top Order’ Adelaide Hills Chardonnay 2025 is brilliant with roast chicken, Thai pork salad, BBQ prawns, richer fish like salmon, creamy mushroom pasta and soft‑rind cheeses. Serve it gently chilled to let the texture and oak really shine, and enjoy it over the next 3–5 years while that fruit intensity is still front and centre.
