Arfion's Dave MacKintosh and ex-Giant Steps' Steve Flamsteed have united once more to produce a brilliant 2025 Chardonnay from Salo, in what will unfortunately be the label's final release from the Full Moon Vineyard in Gladysdale, Yarra Valley. While Salo will find a new home in 2026, what better way to see off Full Moon than with a Chardonnay this layered, expressive and compelling in the glass.

Salo has always sat slightly outside the regional norm. Since the project began in 2008, the brief has been clear — make Yarra Chardonnay with weight, power and structure, while still letting site and season do the talking. That spirit remains intact here, and the 2025 is a beautifully resolved expression of it.

Reviews

"From the Full Moon vineyard in Gladysdale, which, sadly (and in a sign of the times), has been pulled out by the owner. Salo has another vineyard lined up for '26. In the meantime, this is an excellent way to go out. Brightly coloured with aromas of nectarine kernel, citrus peel, flint and light marine scents. There's a gentle creaminess on the well-weighted palate that finishes chalky, tensile and long. A lovely wine to drink now and over the next four to six years at least."
96+ points, Philip Rich, Wine Companion
"I fell for this wine from the first sip. It’s so right that I’m almost lost for words, or for the appropriate ones. It’s mellifluous, first and foremost, in the most beautiful of ways. It tastes of white peach, cream, preserved lemons, honeysuckle and lactose, though everything comes at you as one harmonious stream. I will no doubt rate wines higher, but I can’t imagine a wine that I would more like to drink. This wine is pure, liquid gorgeousness."
