Highlands Chardonnay from Iona Wines is a refined expression of Elgin’s cool-climate conditions, often compared to a more restrained, Burgundian style. Made from 100% Chardonnay grown in vineyards influenced by the Atlantic Ocean, the wine develops a layered aromatic profile with notes of citrus, green apple, and white peach, supported by a distinct mineral edge reminiscent of wet stone.

Subtle hints of almond, hazelnut, and light brioche add complexity without overshadowing the fruit. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with vibrant acidity that brings freshness and precision, while a gentle, well-integrated oak influence contributes texture and depth.

The structure is balanced and focused, leading to a long, clean finish marked by citrus and mineral persistence. With good aging potential, the wine gains additional creaminess and nuance over time.

Overall, it reflects a style defined by elegance, clarity, and a strong sense of place.
