Patrick Sullivan Willow Lake Chardonnay 2025
DOZEN: $900.00 or $75.00 each
A new addition from a site several leading producers access, and now Patrick Sullivan. It makes sense. It's a mid-gold hue and bright, smelling of a pastry shop in the early morning, all croissants and cinnamon rolls, oatmeal and ultimately a savoury drink. The palate unfurls, flavours build, yet there's an intensity, a tightness to this. Like its other Yarra Valley sibling, Woori Yallock, this also needs more time to settle. JANE FAULKNER winecompanion.com.au
Salted pastry dough and almond meal, green mango, white peach and pear, a little mint. It's a fleshy wine, quite nutty with a cinnamon oatmeal character, a juicy and ripe cut to crisp pear and lime acidity, a grainy grip to it, a distinct flavour of Biscoff biscuits lends richness, and the finish is nutty and offers good length. It's a bold and unctuous expression of Yarra Chardonnay, different, quite savoury, yet interesting and quietly compelling. GARY WALSH, thewinefront.com.au
Medium yellow with a brightness, and fresh cashew nut, bread crust and malt aromas, undercurrents of dried fruits, and a trace of smoked charcuterie. The palate is intense and taut, with a lightness that suggests it will reward more time, while the finish is medium-long and linear. Savoury more than fruity, and will repay a bit of patience.
