Schild Old Vine Barossa Chardonnay 2025

Stylish and complex, the wine presents notes of white flesh peach, rockmelon, vanillin oak, and oatmeal on the nose. The palate is equally satisfying, with excellent weight and an expansive mouthfeel, wonderfully framed by bright acidity, which makes it focused and persistent, with a sustained, engaging finish. At its best: 2027 to 2033. (Sam Kim,wineorbit.co.nz,May 2025)
