Tasting Notes

Lemon balm, stone fruit and beeswax on the nose lead into a generous palate of preserved lemon and ripe fruit. Subtle oak adds a little breadth, while a gentle savoury grip gives the wine definition. The texture is rounded, with freshness carrying the flavours through a long finish. It is a Chardonnay with enough weight to suit food and enough lift to keep the palate feeling clean.

Product Highlights

Warramate Chardonnay makes a strong case for looking beyond the Yarra Valley’s headline names. The estate sits beside Yarra Yering, shares its ownership and vineyard team, and has Sarah Crowe making the wines. That connection brings plenty of appeal, but the 2025 Chardonnay gives buyers a reason to come back on its own merits.

New label. New packaging. And loads of attention from the press and wine obsessives as the Warramate relaunch gains traction. But what's in the bottle still counts the most. 

The attraction is in the balance of flavour and texture. Stone fruit and citrus sit at its heart, with preserved lemon giving the palate a savoury edge. Hand-picked fruit is pressed as whole bunches, and selected pressings contribute weight and a little grip. Nine months in French oak rounds out the wine, with a restrained proportion of new barrels allowing the fruit to remain the main event.
It has the generosity Chardonnay drinkers enjoy, alongside the freshness and length that make a second glass so inviting. Philip Rich’s 95-point Halliday rating backs that impression, while Campbell Mattinson’s review praises its flavour and balance.

For drinkers who enjoy Chardonnay with texture and subtle oak, this is an easy wine to find a place for. Sarah Crowe suggests enjoying it now or keeping it for up to five years. A polished Yarra Valley Chardonnay with a very useful address book.
