Frederick Stevenson Chardonnay 2025
$35.00
Classic Adelaide Hills Chardonnay that brings to mind the Fielke style. Rich and tangy, with a distinct mineral, saline edge layered over notes of white chocolate and nougat. Grapefruit, mandarin blossom, lime preserve, butter and cream. Full-flavoured and generously textured, yet still driven by freshness and energy. Packed with character and seriously compelling – one of our favourite Chardonnays from anywhere, and a genuine bargain. Norris at Waters Wine Co
From Marten Doebbie’s vineyard just outside of the Lobethal township, Adelaide Hills. 440m elevation, gentle eastern aspect, situated in a valley where rainfall is higher and colder air stays for longer than surrounding areas. This leads to great acid retention, which enables texture to be built into the wine. Made for enjoyment from the get go. Slow whole bunch pressing, slow & cool natural fermentation in 2/3 barrel & 1/3 stainless steel.10 months of oak aging post on fine lees, 15% new oak. Producer’s Notes

Producer Profile
Winner of the 2020 Young Gun of Wine Winemaker’s Choice Award, Steve Crawford has built an impressive path working around the world before returning to South Australia to establish his own label, Frederick Stevenson.
His wines are refined, elegant, and tightly structured, sourced from two distinct sites: the biodynamic Vine Vale vineyard in the Barossa Valley and a rugged hilltop site north of Eden Valley.
The range balances a nod to traditional Australian winemaking with a curiosity for lesser-known varieties and styles. Small-batch, minimal intervention, and quietly expressive – these are wines that are only set to become more sought after.
