Paralian’s Bowyer Ridge Vineyard Chardonnay is a single-vineyard expression from the Adelaide Hills, made by Skye Salter and Charlie Seppelt, whose shared love of Chardonnay was shaped by their time working in Burgundy. Sourced from the sustainably farmed Bowyer Ridge Vineyard at 480–495m elevation, the vines grow on mica schist soils with a north–south aspect. The fruit is hand-picked, whole-bunch pressed with only the free run used, and fermented in 500L French oak puncheons (25% new), followed by lees ageing and partial malolactic fermentation. The 2024 vintage delivers white florals, white peach, flint and almond husk, balanced by hallmark grapefruit acidity and a lingering mineral finish. Elegant, textural, and finely tuned—this is Paralian’s most expressive release yet.
