Very Burgundian even Puligny in its styling- restrained, tightly wound, elegant but with lovely fruit and some Indian spice evident in the palate. Not at all Australian except for the 'extra' oak which still minimal is obvious. Seriously delicious is the only way to describe the wine.

Tight, restrained, powerful, with a dense mid palate and a long lush finish. The oak and alcohol are carefully kept in check. Australia's finest Chardonnay? I wouldn't argue with that. All it needs is some personality.

Very intense on nose and palate, offering tart citrus and very focused fruits. A little oak peaking out at present and hopefully will integrate with a little time in cellar. Overall a very good wine with a lot of potential.

Pineapple and minerals, followed by limeade and grapefruit. Very zippy but with nice balance. A touch of oaky vanilla on the back end, but in a pleasant way. Wonder whether this will last for more than 2-3 years, but probably won't wait around to find out. Agree with previous commenter who likened to Chablis....

Very light yellow color; appealing, tart pear, almond nose; tasty, poised, tart lemon, mineral palate with medium acidity; medium-plus finish 91+ points

Well this was definitely a find. Recommended to me from a friend by a friend. Lots of stone and gun flint but combined with crystalized melon fruit. Very well put together.

Excellent chardonnay. Unlike many, this doesn't rely on obvious new oak. Instead it balances savouriness, fruit, acid and winemaker's input. Has power and length. Great. Maybe worth another point.

The nose shows some overt richness with butterscotch ,melon fruit and oak influences, the palate is more restrained with chalky acidity and subtle fruit with a citrus edge.
The wine finishes with good length and plenty of acid. This is a wine that will take some time to integrate and should really come into its own in 4 to 5 years. Review Link - www.winereviewer.com.au (drink from 2014-2022)

I love that Australia can produce Chardonnay that gets close to what Chablis offers. Great line and length, firm acidity and wonderful fruit.
