Yering Station Village Chardonnay 2025 is a classic expression of the Yarra Valley at its most generous and vibrant — part of the Village family of wines that lets the bright, fruit-forward character of the region speak for itself. Soft and juicy peach upfront builds with generous texture and barrel ferment complexity, delivering a Chardonnay that is both immediately appealing and genuinely well-structured. Awarded 93 points by Philip Rich in the Halliday Wine Companion and 91 points by Jeni Port at Wine Pilot.
Appearance
Pale white gold with a bright, luminous clarity — fresh and inviting in the glass.
Aroma
White peaches, lemon balm, and crushed cashews lead a fragrant and expressive bouquet. Stone fruits, yellow apple, and a touch of lemon oil add further depth, with light spice and flint adding complexity and lift.
Palate
Mouthfilling flavours of yellow citrus, nectarine pith, and white florals open a palate of beautiful generosity and texture. Subtle savoury notes of roasted nuts and baking spices layer across the mid-palate, complemented by an attractive creaminess that is signature Village. Delicate tannin and taut acidity provide a backbone that keeps the frame centred and vibrant through a long, zesty finish.
Pairs With
Grilled barramundi, roast chicken, creamy pasta, soft-rind cheeses, and light seafood dishes. A versatile Chardonnay that complements a wide range of food without ever overpowering it.

“Yering Station consistently delivers the goods at this price point, and this is no exception. Brightly coloured with aromas of stone fruits, yellow apple and just a touch of lemon oil. It’s textured through the mid-palate before finishing gently pithy and long. Tick.”

“Shows its sunny side early with aromas of yellow peach, nectarine, citrus, flint and light spice. An attractive creaminess across the middle palate is signature Village in league with citrus, ripe stone fruits and a lively spiciness. Nicely integrated with oak, the overall effect is one of a streamlined, bright Chardonnay. Finishes on a zesty high note.”
