A mineralistic style Chardonnay, driven by acid mineral texture and funk that tasty funk we all love, balanced by oak. Slight lactic notes from partial malolactic fermentation, with notes of flint, struck match from 100% barrel fermented.

Coulter Wines’ Rathmine Single Vineyard Chardonnay comes from a carefully selected site in the Adelaide Hills, known for producing fruit with fine natural acidity and purity of flavour. Winemaker Christopher Coulter focuses on small-batch production, working with minimal intervention to highlight the character of the vineyard. Hand-picked fruit is whole-bunch pressed and undergoes wild fermentation in French oak barrels, with a portion of new oak used for structure and complexity. Lees stirring during maturation builds texture and depth while maintaining freshness. Each vintage shows a consistent profile shaped by the cool climate and meticulous winemaking. Expect aromas of citrus, stone fruit and a hint of flint, leading to a palate with layers of white peach, grapefruit and subtle oak spice. The finish is long and precise, making it a versatile wine for cellaring or immediate enjoyment, and a strong example of modern Adelaide Hills Chardonnay.
