95 POINTS - James Suckling
"So pure and focused with aromas of lemon pith, hazelnuts, green melon, grapefruit, baking spices and flint. The medium-bodied palate has high-tension acidity and generous mouthfeel, showing orange blossoms, green apples, lime curd and salted nuts. Lovely energy and minerality will unravel nicely for years to come. Drink or hold."
The aromas carry through to the palate, which also shows some fresh sourdough bread characters adding further to this wine’s complexity. It finishes with a saline minerality and racy, vibrant acidity. This is a Chardonnay with energy, structure, and power. It will benefit further with some time in bottle.

Mornington Peninsula Wines
South of Melbourne, the Mornington Peninsula grape growing region has a cool, maritime climate that is most known for their Pinot Noir and Chardonnay production. Other varieties that have seen some success here include Pinot Gris and Tempranillo.
However, it does seem that Pinot Noir is their focus judging from the fact that The Mornington Peninsula International Pinot Noir Celebration is held once every two years. The event displays the region’s capabilities in making some of Australia’s finest Pinot Noir in front of local and international audiences.
