2023 Yarra Yering Chardonnay

98 Points - Huon Hooke, The Real Review

“Ranked #2 of 59 2023 Chardonnays from Yarra Valley Bright light to mid yellow colour; there are youthful apple, pear and steely mineral aromas, the palate is taut and refined, tensioned and properly dry, with an appetising finish and aftertaste. Tight but concentrated. An impressive wine: lovely flavour, freshness, focus and persistence. Beautiful now and will reward cellaring.”

97 Points - Philip Rich, Wine Companion

“From the two original chardonnay blocks. Barrel fermented in barriques (25% new) and zero mlf. While the Crécy chardonnay is plusher and more open knit, this beautifully crafted wine is tighter and more mineral in style. Subtle scents of stone fruits and fresh sea spray together with a gentle nuttiness. Beautifully balanced and structured, finishing saline and very long. A superb wine that, while good now, is 2–3 years away, at least, from beginning to reach its zenith.”
