  August 24, 2019 - A blend of Chardonnay from five different Victorian wine regions (Macedon Ranges, Geelong, Yarra Valley, Gippsland, Mornington Peninsula). Strong nose of apple schnapps, lime, and popcorn. Palate shows a tart acidity, with a background note of buttery oak. Flavours of crunchy apple wedges and buttered popcorn. A very nice, well-balanced wine.

  August 30, 2011 - Big buckets of intense peach and citrus, some smoke, matchstick and a nice Burgundian funk. This has a cracker profile and is a very serious Chardonnay, especially given that it's under $20. The palette has a flinty mineral core, with layers of stone fruit and a big matching acidity. The finish is long and this was a perfect match with oven roasted salmon.

  August 27, 2011 - Oak was less obvious, even more integrated and balanced in this one. Definitely has a few more years left with this one. [screwcap, 13.0% alc]

  August 20, 2011 - This really is amazing value Aussie Chardonnay. Made in the French style, the nose has a flinty, matchstick aroma with interesting oak elements poking through white peaches and citrus. The palette is chewy and rich with a strong acidic core and some mineral balance. The powerful stone fruit and lemon on the finish is delightful.
