2023 Murdoch Hill Rocket Lenswood Chardonnay

96 Points - James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com

“Powerful aromas of lemon confit, minerals, oyster shells, chalk and candied lime zest. The palate is medium-bodied with underlying power framed by focused acidity, giving notes of fresh pineapple, green apple skin and grapefruit pith. Exceptionally well balanced and tightly constructed. Drink or hold.”

95 Points - Katrina Butler, Halliday Wine Companion

“An important wine for the region and site, estate grown in Lenswood. 100% mlf and 50% new oak in both French and Hungarian small and large format oak. Texturally brilliant with a chalky, crushed aspirin-like texture, it melds and relents under the brightness of fruit, leaving only a mineral sherbet tingle behind. Lemon and grapefruit, white stone fruits, raw cashew and nougat, too. There is a softness here that begs for pause, so take some time to appreciate its multifaceted nuance and complexity.”
