James Halliday – "From an east-facing contoured vineyard that catches all the morning sun. Perfectly ripened white stone fruit with a quick squeeze of Meyer lemon. Has been fermented and matured in French oak in such a way as to leave the gorgeous fruit centre stage, the palate of endless length." - James Halliday (Halliday Wine Companion)
James Suckling – The forthright nose of candied lemon and smoke leads you into a well-structured chardonnay, with elegant acidity and plenty of chalky minerality. With a bit more complexity at the finish this would rate even higher. From vines in Flonheim. Limited production. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold. - JamesSuckling.com
The Wine Front – There’s certain clarity about this wine, and it will satisfy your cravings if you seek crisp and fresh styles of Chardonnay. Almonds and cashews, fresh citrus, yoghurt note giving a lightly creamy texture. Fruit, however, is on the crunchy, green side, with firm apples and pears, sour grapefruit, a hint of white nectarine. All pinned by a salty finish, cool in flow. You can’t help but think of some textbook Chablis examples. And for the price, it’s a no-brainer.
James Halliday – A selection of the best estate-grown chardonnay, with only 400 dozen made, winemaking much the same as its junior sibling. While retaining freshness and precision, the fruit here is more juicy and polished, not quite as angular.
The Wine Front – Mid intensity, mid complexity, a general elegance and sound length. This has been nicely put together. Nectarine, honeysuckle, a semblance of oyster shells and a glide of peachy/nutty flavour through the finish. Everything is in good order now though I suspect that it’ll be better again in another 6-12 months - Campbell Mattinson
The Wine Front – Pungent start. Steaming pineapple tarte Tatin. Appetising. More sweet pastry, some coconut nuance, lavender, almond nougat, wood spice. It’s full-on with power, energetic, pushing with a hit of ripe flavour and a whack of grapefruity acidity. I want to say it’s meaty with crushed bitter sage finish. Flavours linger in the back palate with a big lick of lime and salt. It has great intensity that needs time to settle.
