The Sidewood Adelaide Hills Chardonnay 2023 is a beautifully crafted expression of cool-climate elegance from one of the region’s most awarded wineries. Sourced from estate vineyards in the Adelaide Hills, this wine captures both purity and texture in perfect balance. It opens with inviting aromas of white peach, lime zest and citrus blossom, supported by subtle notes of nougat, cashew and fine French oak.

On the palate, it’s refined and seamless — creamy yet vibrant, with layers of stone fruit, lemon curd and gentle spice carried by crisp natural acidity. There’s wonderful texture from lees contact and barrel maturation, giving depth without heaviness, and the finish is long, clean and refreshingly mineral.

This vintage has received high praise on the show circuit and from critics alike, winning a Gold Medal and scoring 93 points at the 2023 Cool Climate Wine Show. It’s an outstanding example of modern Australian Chardonnay — bright, balanced and sophisticated — ideal with roast chicken, seared salmon, creamy pastas or simply enjoyed on its own. Elegant and expressive, it’s a wine that perfectly showcases the finesse of the Adelaide Hills.
