Lodestar Wines Adelaide Hills Chardonnay 2016
About the wine
Subtle oak, scrumptious fruit!
- Geoff's latest Chardonnay is an outstanding wine that expresses the natural characteristics of it's region wonderfully! Angels will enjoy tantalising aromas of lemon, apricot and just a touch of oak.
- Your taste buds will dance to the tune of initial subtle sweetness on the palate, then a lovely crispy acid mouthfeel will hit every part of the mouth to ensure easy drinking. The finish is long and balanced to round out each delightful sip!
- Geoff's attention to detail shines here. His response to Angel feedback has given this latest vintage a new balance, with less overt oak levels while ensuring the lovely intense fruit flavours are retained. A guaranteed hit in any crowd, why not make the most of your Angel backing and snap up this quality, pocket friendly Chardy?!

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Geoff Thompson
The first winemaker in his family, Geoff got to grips with grapes in 2002 and left a promising career in photographic science to do something he was passionate about. Hard work and enviable talent saw him work his way up the wine-stained ladder to Senior Winemaker at the Tahbilk Group in Victoria, in charge of more than a million cases a year!
Building a reputation as a master blender, Geoff won a ton of gold medals and trophies for his wines - and developed an itch to branch out on his own, back in his McLaren Vale homeland. Angels helped him scratch it in 2013 when a phone call in a car park kicked off his dream to create wines under his own label for them!
With his winemaking wizardry and access to some of the best grapes in the country, Geoff has been wowing Angels with his sensational South Australian wines ever since. He’s caught the eye of the critics too. In 2022, his winery was awarded 4.5 stars in the iconic Halliday wine companion.
