Stonier Chardonnay 2024 from the Mornington Peninsula is a vibrant, cool‑climate Chardonnay that balances stone‑fruit richness with a salty, maritime edge from estate and high‑elevation grower vineyards stretching from Merricks to Red Hill. This Stonier 2024 Chardonnay is an outstanding example of modern Peninsula style at a very smart price.

In the glass you get bright peach, white plum and lemon cream, with citrus zest, nectarine, a hint of grapefruit, subtle oak spice and a gentle struck‑flint, sourdough nuance adding complexity. The palate is rich yet fresh, combining creamy mid‑palate weight with lively acidity and a long, mineral, sea‑spray‑tinged finish.

This Stonier Chardonnay 2024 is spot‑on with roast chicken and garlic potatoes, grilled scallops, lobster or crab in butter, creamy seafood pasta, mushroom risotto or pork tenderloin with a lemony pan sauce. It’s also a brilliant match for richer fish dishes and aged hard cheeses at relaxed dinners or long Sunday lunches.
