Sidewood Estate Stable Hill Adelaide Hills Chardonnay

Uber-talented Tash Mooney is contract winemaker for the Oakbank vineyard of Sidewood. Stable Hill is its bargain second label, with a single vineyard estate chardonnay of high-tensile grapefruit, lemon, peach and white nectarine fruit. A zippy acid backbone unashamedly tells the story of a cool vintage in the Hills. A crunchy aperitif now, or let it mellow for a year or two. $12 direct.
