Crown & Anchor Chardonnay 2025 McLaren Vale

Crown & Anchor Chardonnay 2025 McLaren Vale

Pale gold with bright youthful luminosity.

The nose reveals white peach, nectarine and preserved lemon layered with subtle toasted hazelnut, vanilla bean and restrained oak spice. A faint saline mineral note adds freshness.

The palate is texturally composed and harmoniously structured, with ripe stone fruit unfolding across a creamy mid-palate supported by fine linear acidity. Oak is measured and seamlessly integrated, contributing texture rather than dominance. Mineral tension builds through the mid-palate, drawing the wine into a long, clean and gently phenolic finish that shows both weight and precision.

A balanced modern Chardonnay combining fruit generosity with structural definition.

Vino Masters Score: 92 / 100
