Our 2025 Chardonnay was sourced entirely from the weathered granite slopes of the Dash Farms vineyard - the same site as our single vineyard offering (to be released later in the year). 
 
A slightly longer pressing and ageing solely in  a combination of old French oak and stainless steel has resulted in a beautiful Chardonnay with all the hallmarks of our house style, while also presenting a wonderful drinkability in youth.

Aromatically floral and inviting with jasmine blossom, lemon zest and subtle crushed stone, the palate is focused and precise, with lemon and faint green almond flavours, yet offers lovely concentration of flavour and finely mouth coating texture. Cellar into the medium term or enjoy now in youth.

PAST REVIEWS
 
Vintage 2024:
"It's flavoursome, rich in a way, but also holds shape in a cooler frame though it touches medium weight too ... Character filled, compelling drinking, a chardonnay not afraid of flavour but happy resting in a space that feels cooler and brighter too. Apple, cashew, almond, pulpy grapefruit, cumquat, cinnamon. Go forth, this is super drinking." - Mike Bennie, The Wine Front (95 Points)
 
Vintage 2023:
"Josh Cooper has emerged as a serious talent in the world of Chardonnay, and the evidence is plain for all to see. Here we have hints of apricot skins and peach pits, with a touch of nutmeg and cinnamon. Florals, figs, lemongrass, and notes of mandarin are in support, and the oak is beautifully melded. A seductively lingering finish. This is a joy to drink now but will still offer pleasure over the next 8–12 years." - Ken Gargett, The World of Fine Wine (95 Points)
