  1. Murdoch Hill Rocket Chardonnay 2020
    Murdoch Hill Rocket Chardonnay 2020
    Bolder expression of The Rocket, lots of flavour, lots of impact. Cinnamon and clove spice, cedar and tobacco, apple, green melon, wet slate going on. Flinty flecks through green apple, cinnamon spice and vanilla with faint smoky notes. Big mouthful of wine with powerful spine of acidity. The finish is a little firm and smoky. Tightly packed, complex, and structured. Impressive. Feels very fancy. MIKE BENNIE, winefront.com

  2. Murdoch Hill Chardonnay 2022
    Murdoch Hill Chardonnay 2022
    Original plantings from 1989. Planted on a variety of landscape. Barrel fermented.
    Wow kinda chardy. Tightly wound but with juiciness. Almost on medium weight. Skittish acidity keeping things fresh, saline, briny, flinty notes gently there, a lot of lovely cashew and almond savouriness and then you notice, green apple, tart lime, anise. It's crystalline and bright. It's structured and finishes long. Delicious. MIKE BENNIE, winefront.com

  3. Shaw & Smith M3 Chardonnay 2022
    Shaw & Smith M3 Chardonnay 2022

    A sleek, mid-weighted & highly contemporary chardonnay, embellishing a pungent mineral chassis with roasted cashew, nougat and curdy creaminess. Vanilla-cedar oak, an integrated framework. Apricot pith, white peach and nectarine, too. The acidity, palpably natural of feel and really juicy, towing impressive length. Among the better recent iterations of this rightly popular cuvée. NED GOODWIN, Wine Companion

  4. Ngeringa Summit Single Vineyard Chardonnay 2021
    Ngeringa Summit Single Vineyard Chardonnay 2021

    If any grape variety is going to take you to the stars it's chardonnay, and here is one to do just that. This is textural, charismatic, free-flowing and yet well structured, and while there's plenty going on through the mainstay of the palate the real fireworks are on the finish. It tastes of hay and flint, oat milk and honeysuckle, white peach and crushed fennel, and just when you think that the flavours are going to stop they sail on and then on again. We're in stunning territory here. CAMPBELL MATTINSON, Halliday Wine Companion

    Biodynamics stalwarts and producing excellent wines, of course.

    Textural feast! Slippery, greasy almost, in the best sense, lots of riper stone fruit flavours but a saline minerality takes that to task. Green apple, almond nuttiness, wet fern and leafy herbal notes in the mix. It’s a potent chardonnay but cut with appropriate acidity and sense of freshness. It feels a touch wild, in the best sense, and I am all for that. It is character plus, in its essence. Dig in. MIKE BENNIE, The Wine Front

  5. Shaw & Smith Lenswood Vineyard Chardonnay 2022
    Shaw & Smith Lenswood Vineyard Chardonnay 2022

    An exceptional vintage for white wines. A lower pH, inherent freshness and phenolic bite, the artillery that delivers the impressive structural latticework necessary for further development. Really classy. Subdued aromas of cinnamon, sesame, quince, ginger and toasted hazelnut, with the barest hint of fruit. Better this way. The mid-weighted palate is pliant, nicely chewy and multilayered. The finish is exceptionally long, although I look forward to tasting again in another six or eight years after things unravel and meld. Stunning chardonnay, aligned with top-tier Chassagne and certainly among the finest tasted in recent memory (97) NED GOODWIN, Jamessuickling.com

    A cascade of yellow grapefruit juice, juiced green apples and lime sorbet. Elderflower and Acacia blossoms. A hint of green coconut and lemongrass. It's full of citrus zest with an almond milk creaminess and roast raw macadamia on the finish. Nutmeg, tahini and baked anzac biscuits. A harmony of high tones and deep base notes that presents a birds eye view of Hills chardonnay. There is real power and weight here but with plenty of fruit tension and enough malo buffering. A joy to drink now and will cellar 5-8 years. I can see this served beside a river of raclette on hot bread. (96) SHANTEH WALE, Wine Pilot
