Joshua Cooper Chardonnay 2025

Delicious drinking. Lemon curd, lemongrass, lemon verbena with dashes of red apple, peach, vanilla and touches of flint with saline minerality. It’s got a nice haze to texture, a gentle and soft flow, a touch diffuse perhaps but refreshing anyways. Perfume rolls out with green apple, green mango, salted cashew and faint clove and herbal lift. Delightful. Everything just so. Good freshness too. Happy days. 93 pts, Mike Bennie, The Wine Front

A baby dash farms so to speak, great texture and balance achieved with 80% barrel ferment and more solids in the mix this year. The Chardonnay is open and dense with a touch of green flint. It’s fleshy, complex and approachable. A very smart rendition. Mitch Milicich, FWC

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. Winery note
