2025 Mada Mountain View Chardonnay

Mountain View is Hamish Young’s top white, sourced from a high, windswept vineyard in Tumbarumba – one of the coolest and most exciting Chardonnay regions in the country. The site’s altitude and granite soils give him fruit with serious line and purity, and in 2025, everything came together beautifully.

Hamish keeps the winemaking simple: whole-bunch press, wild ferment, and ageing on lees in mostly old French oak. No tricks, no heavy oak, just patience and detail to let the vineyard shine.

It’s tight and energetic, with citrus, white peach and a hint of struck match. There’s texture from the lees, a touch of grip, and a clean, stony finish that feels straight out of the mountains. It’s elegant but not shy – proper Tumbarumba Chardonnay with that unmistakable Mada touch.
