  1. Honky Chateau Ikigai Chardonnay 2021
    Honky Chateau Ikigai Chardonnay 2021
    This by somm Chris Ryan of Cummulus Inc so you know he know what good booze is supposed to look like. All from a single vineyard in Healesville handpicked, crushed and pressed to all old 300l barrels. All wild ferment and just a couple of barrels that kicked on through to natural malo and kept for a bit of extra depth. Keen and minimal winemaking - we love it!

    Lush, soft and juicy, tropical leaning chardonnay with a really good dose of sweet spice. Slurpy, yummo kinda vibe. Not changing the world but this thing is delicious. Delivers a really good hit of chardy. MIKE BENNIE, The Wine Front

  2. A Rodda Baxendale Vineyard Whitlands Chardonnay 2021
    A Rodda Baxendale Vineyard Whitlands Chardonnay 2021

    In keeping with its 600m elevation, fruit from the Baxendale vineyard always shows impressive acidity and energy. In a great vintage such as 2021, it brings a tight linear presence, balanced and beautifully integrated, providing an ideal launching pad for bright citrus, stone fruits and aromatic florals. A busy, racy youngster with a big future ahead. (95) JAMES HALLIDAY'S WINE COMPANION

    A pretty nose with a touch of reservation - wax, red apple skins, grapefruit and white florals. There's a beguiling fragility here that lures you in. The palate is tense and tight, walking an energtic line that gathers flesh and flavour with air. Its racy nature thrills, signing off with a saline edge to the acidity on the finish. It's poignant and pure, taking you on a scintillating high altitude ride - strap yourself in. GABRIELLE POY




    STAFF PICKS 2022 - BRIAN BLANDIN
    Immediately enticing with the nose. Hints of struck match, a flinty smokiness, coupled with a subtle touch of apple and pear skin. This follows into excellent freshness and a slightly, chalky minerality on the palate, continuing with the apple and pear flavours, all enhanced by the textural finesse, a benefit of the extended aging on lees in barrel. An absolute winner for me this year, and my stand-out favourite of the Rodda Chardonnays this vintage. Will certainly be my go to for all the festivities this season! BRIAN

  3. A Rodda Baxendale Vineyard Chardonnay 2023
    A Rodda Baxendale Vineyard Chardonnay 2023

    +++Winner of four trophies at the Vic Wine Show+++
    Seashore tones mix with spiced apples and hazelnuts on the nose. A tightly coiled core of fruit - white nectarines and apples - unfurls revealing a nervy pulse and chalky texture. This has great presence and depth, framed in a carriage of spicy oak with flavours of hazelnuts and brine emerging. Its composure is exquisite, and while there's a perceived fragility about the wine its undertow of carry suggests otherwise. Banging value too. No wonder this recently picked up four trophies - including Wine of Show at the Vic Wine Show. GABRIELLE POY

    Highly lifted aromas of red apples and meadow flowers are complexed with secondary characters of flint, spice and wet stone. On the palate, intense minerality combined with fine acidity and lees complexity create a mouthfeel that is velvety and creamy yet focused and intense. Creating a tactile sensation that is long, savoury, and refreshing. ADRIAN RODDA

  4. Fighting Gully Road Chardonnay 2022
    Fighting Gully Road Chardonnay 2022

    Utterly delicious and, yet, so serious in intent and presence. Friendly, fragrant in lemon blossom, nectarine, white peach, ruby grapefruit, nougat and flint. Seamless in presentation, ripe in fruit quality and nicely weighted oak with brulée custard notes. It brings Beechworth energy and fresh acidity to the fore - juicy and delicious. Quietly complex, too. JENI PORT, winecompanion.com

    A strongly regional wine boasting the typical knit of tension, judicious oak and glazed stone fruits, albeit, sewn together with a looser weave. A premium wine, no two ways about it. But a touchstone to that which lies beyond. And in terms of Beechworth chardonnay, that is a great deal. Drink or hold. Screw cap. NED GOODWIN MW, jamessuckling.com

  5. A Rodda Willow Lake Yarra Valley Chardonnay 2022
    A Rodda Willow Lake Yarra Valley Chardonnay 2022
    From 1979 plantings. south facing, sitting at 270m ASL.
    Grapefruit and nectarine, almond and light spice, fine perfume. Cool feeling wine, zesty style with lemon peel, nutty and savoury, plenty of acid bite, but gently creamy too, with a fine chalk dust finish of excellent length. A little bony and discreet, perhaps, but has flavour and appealing texture. Saline too. A couple more years should see it right. GARY WALSH, winefront.com

  6. A Rodda Willow Lake Yarra Valley Chardonnay 2023
    A Rodda Willow Lake Yarra Valley Chardonnay 2023

    A lovely mix of nectarines, apple danish and white button mushrooms pique the senses. With air whiffs of crushed rock and smoked meats appear. The core is awash with flavours of stone fruits and pomme fruits, earth and spice – layers build upon each other. This is a sophisticated and stylish chardonnay that doesn’t reveal its hand fully – it plays a cat-and-mouse game. Subtle oak spices remain deferential to the core of finely etched fruit. A fine framing tail of acidity and phenolics signs off. Very stylish indeed. GABRIELLE POY

    Complex and highly lifted aromas of citrus blossom, Meyer lemon and white nectarine combine with gun smoke and freshly grilled nuts. The palate is soft and full yet refined and complex, driven by fine acidity that flows into a creamy, velvety texture. The finish is round yet precise leaving a sensation that is long and moreish.

  7. A.Rodda Tete De Cuvee Beechworth Cabernets 2019
    A.Rodda Tete De Cuvee Beechworth Cabernets 2019
    69/29/2% cabernet sauvignon/merlot/petit verdot; hand picked and destemmed. Matured 12 months in French barriques (50% new) then to old 600L oak casks for a further 8 months. Deeply coloured and concentrated in the glass and boasting a classic cabernet-led bouquet of cassis, mulberry, bramble, herbs, leaves, chocolate and vanilla. Stands up straight, firm in structure in nicely measured tannins with concentrated fruit which has yet to fully reveal. It's asking for more time in bottle. Give it some. (95) JENI PORT, Halliday Wine Companion
