  1. Shadowfax Midhill Chardonnay 2021
    Shadowfax Midhill Chardonnay 2021
    I’m tempted to say that this wine is built on acidity but the flavour itself is wonderful and I don’t want to give the wrong impression. Let’s just say that fruit intensity is excellent and that it’s strung on strict, straight wires. This wine isn’t a telephone line; it’s a high voltage power cable. Yellow stonefruit flavours reach the front porch of green pineapple; sweet pear walks in the direction of honeysuckle. Cedarwood oak is a player and an appropriate one. This wine is complex, intense and lengthy; it’s chardonnay with its gorgeous face on. CAMPBELL MATTINSON, The Wine Front

  2. Bannockburn Chardonnay 2022
    Bannockburn Chardonnay 2022
    Grilled pineapple, spiced nectarines and subtle nougat aromas allude to its ripeness. On the palate, flavour rides shotgun. There’s depth to the fruit and buoyancy thanks to its verve and driving line of acidity. Clever oak use supports the bold core of fruit. It flows harmoniously across the palate with a cleansing tail of minerally acidity. The fruit power of Bannockburn is on show here. Winemaker Matt Holmes has brought this wine into modern era while staying true to their fruit prowess. GABRIELLE POY, PWS

  3. Lethbridge Allegra Chardonnay 2018
    Lethbridge Allegra Chardonnay 2018

    Stonefruit, preserved lemon, wheat germ, mint and garden herbs, cashew nuts. It’s intense in acidity, but rich in ripe lemon and peach flavour, kind of savoury and saline too, oatmeal and grapefruit, glossy yet flinty, with a finish of huge length and gently nutty oxidative character. Such personality, power, and presence. Wonderful. (95) GARY WALSH – TASTED NOVEMBER 2022

    Lethbridge's flagship chardonnay, capable of stopping you in your tracks. With fineness, concentration of fruit and judicious winemaking, this is one of Geelong's best expressions of the grape. Citrus to the fore on the bouquet, with grapefruit, lemon, white nectarine and almond-meal notes. Fine lined throughout with a tantalising theme of bush herbs and lemon thyme. Bright, crystalline freshness to close. (95) JAMES HALLIDAY’S WINE COMPANION – TASTED 2021

    A rich Chardonnay in the context of Australian tendencies to push the linear, reductive and taut. Yet there is no dearth of freshness. White peach, truffled lees and brulee segue to mineral crunch, a lick of classy oak and a long, penetrative finish. This mid-weighted, bottled aged iteration is for flavor hounds as much for those who like textural interplay and considerable complexity. JAMES SUCKLING – TASTED AUGUST 2023
