XO Wine Chardonnay

XO Wine Co Chardonnay 2025 from the Adelaide Hills is a well‑balanced, modern Chardonnay that threads the needle between super‑creamy and ultra‑lean – elegant, finely structured and driven by pure, cool‑climate fruit. XO Chardonnay 2025 lines up as a serious yet still highly drinkable Hills white.

Sourced from high‑altitude vineyards at Kuitpo and Kenton Valley, it shows nectarine, white peach and lemon myrtle on the nose, with hints of flint and subtle French oak. Handpicked, whole‑bunch pressed juice is wild‑fermented in French oak demi‑muids, puncheons and hogsheads, with about half the wine going through malolactic fermentation and six months’ lees stirring, building creamy texture over a citrus‑and‑stonefruit core while keeping acidity fresh and the finish clean.

It’s tailor‑made for roast chicken, grilled fish, shellfish, creamy pasta and soft cheeses, where its balance of citrus snap, stonefruit richness and gentle oak can really shine. XO Wine Co Chardonnay 2025 is vegan‑friendly and produced in small volumes, making it a savvy choice for customers chasing a polished yet quietly understated Adelaide Hills Chardonnay.
