Patrick Sullivan Ada River Chardonnay 2025
DOZEN: $1,368.00 or $114.00 each
The stars are aligned, as this is the finest Ada River to date. Pristine yet powerful. Full of flavour yet everything corralled by fine acidity. Excellent citrus-based fruit flavours, woodsy spices, ginger flower and just a smidge of creamy lees. There's such length to this. There's definition, complexity, layers of texture as the palate builds to a crescendo, allowing everything that is so great about this wine to fall into place. (97+) JANE FAULKNER, winecompanion.com.au
Superb wine. Texture, finesse, balance, oh and a nod to Jura in its manzanilla tang. Succulent and long. Sea spray, green apple, chamomile tea, preserved lime, alpine herbs, salted peanuts, lemon on nectarine - a feast for the senses! All this in a compact, textural, grippy frame and huge extension of flavour. Deliciousness, and then some. Very cool, cold and cool-cool. This is superb chardonnay, distinct for its styling and somewhat other-worldy for Australian chardonnay generally, in the best sense. All about it. (96) MIKE BENNIE, thewinefront.com.au
Medium-full yellow, a precocious colour for ts youth. Malt, creamed hazelnuts, nougat, caramel and almond aromas, a hint of dried apricot, the palate rich and full-bodied, powerful and big flavoured, with rounded structure and a firm but slightly astringent finish. Very good but more time recommended. HUON HOOKE, the realreview.com.au
