Sidewood Mappinga Chardonnay 2025 Wine Review

Natalie's Score: 94/100

This generously complex wine showcases white peach, pink grapefruit, Meyer lemon aromas leading to delightful flavours of grilled almonds, lychee and finger lime, all punctuated by a slaty, mineral- driven acidity. The wine is tight and racy with fine Oak tannins to support this powerfully structured Chardonnay. A wine which will reward careful cellaring. (International Cool Climate Wine Show,2024) MINE: Lychee and lime zest aromas meet vanilla bean and roasted hazelnut on a rich, layered palate. Powerful yet precise, with elegant structure and a long, nutty finish. Try it with lobster thermidor or roasted chicken with hazelnut stuffing. NEW: Sidewood farms in the Adelaide Hills, a cool, high-altitude pocket of South Australia well suited to Chardonnay. White nectarine and a touch of honeydew open the glass, a creamy texture underneath. Rich and structured, the finish runs long. Pour it with fish and chips or veal chops.

Chardonnay food pairings: fish and chips, roast chicken, veal chops.

Remarkable Roast Chicken Wine
