Oakridge 864 Henk Aqueduct Block Chardonnay 2022

98 Points - Philip Rich, Wine Companion

“From the highest section at Henk, around 260m. Hand picked, whole-bunch pressed to 500L French puncheons (20% new), wild-yeast fermented, matured for 10 months on lees. The first Henk to make an 864 since 2018 and worth the wait. A glorious wine opening with orchard fruits, freshly cut white pears together with a little sea spray and lightly grilled cashews. On the palate, this is restrained, tightly coiled and mouth-filling – you can still taste this very precise wine long after you've taken a sip.”
