Altus / Rise “Ascension” Chardonnay 2025 Margaret River

Altus / Rise “Ascension” Chardonnay 2025
Margaret River

Brilliant bright pale straw in colour.

The aroma reveals nectarine and white stonefruit layered with citrus zest and subtle hazelnut, framed by carefully selected French oak that adds quiet complexity without dominating.

The palate is textural yet energetic — an edgier, contemporary style that balances stonefruit and citrus with fine acidity and a distinct mineral saline backbone. A creamy mid-palate provides depth and polish, while the oak remains integrated and precise.

The finish is long, savoury and composed, carrying both regional power and modern restraint in equal measure.

A sophisticated Margaret River Chardonnay with confidence and clarity of style.
