Singlefile Great Southern Chardonnay 2025

Tasting Notes

• Colour: Brilliant pale gold, reflecting the wine’s fresh, vibrant profile.
• Aromatics: Inviting aromas of lemon curd and ripe peach, with subtle mealy notes and a hint of struck match complexity.
• Palate: A modern and well-balanced style, with zesty citrus and luscious stone fruit flavours. The new oak contributes a gentle spice, enhancing the wine’s texture and depth.
• Finish: A long and satisfying finish that showcases the wine’s elegant structure, with a bright and refreshing aftertaste.

Food Pairing Suggestions

• Poultry Dishes: Pairs beautifully with roasted or grilled chicken, especially with rich, herb-infused sauces.
• Creamy Shellfish: Complements dishes like creamy seafood pasta or lobster bisque, where the wine’s acidity balances the richness.
• Sautéed Vegetables: Perfect with sautéed or roasted vegetables, especially those with a slightly caramelized finish, such as butternut squash or asparagus.
• Cheese: Try it with soft cheeses like Brie or Camembert, which complement the wine’s delicate texture and citrus elements.

Vineyard & Winemaking

The 2025 season offered consistent temperatures and very little rain, resulting in the chardonnay fruit displaying strong varietal character and great concentration of flavours.

The fruit was harvested in three separate parcels on 26 February, 5 March and 11 March. In each instance, the parcel of fruit was chilled overnight and then fermented in Burgundian oak barriques (approximately 25% new and 75% aged). The chardonnay barrels were lees stirred weekly for the first four months and then left to settle in barrel for a further two months before being prepared for bottling in October 2025.

• Oak Maturation: Aged in 25% new and 75% one-year-old Burgundian oak barriques, which imparts subtle spice and richness.
• Fermentation: Fermented in oak, which allows for a balanced integration of oak and fruit flavours.
• Harvest: Meticulously handpicked in late March, ensuring the best quality fruit for this wine.

Technical Wine Language Explained

• Burgundian Oak: A type of oak barrel commonly used in Burgundy, France, for aging wines. These barrels allow the wine to take on subtle oak flavours like spice and vanilla while enhancing texture.
• Mealy Notes: A term used to describe the texture and flavour derived from the fermentation and aging process, particularly in wines that undergo malolactic fermentation. These notes can give the wine a creamy or biscuit-like character.
• Struck Match: A subtle aroma that can develop during fermentation, typically from sulfur compounds, adding complexity and a slight smokiness to the wine.
• Titratable Acidity: A measure of the wine’s acidity, contributing to its freshness and crispness. This wine has a well-balanced acidity that supports its fruit flavours.
• pH: A measure of the wine’s acidity. A pH around 3.28 indicates a good balance between freshness and smoothness.

I have been buying my wines from Kirk for about two years now and I have never had a bad experience or wine. I love the fact that the wines are all West Australian, so supporting local and lower carbon footprint. He delivers when it’s convenient for me and brings the wine to my door.  Wines are all good quality and well priced, especially the cleanskins. Highly recommended

I've been ordering from Partners in Wine for three years now - from the UK for my sister living in Perth. Each time they've been bang on with my order including  on time delivery. Kirk has also helped me select my wines from an extensive list.  A very pleasant and friendly company to deal with. I would highly recommend them.
