Salo Yarra Valley Chardonnay 2025
DOZEN: $612.00 or $51.00 each
From the Full Moon vineyard in Gladysdale, which, sadly (and in a sign of the times), has been pulled out by the owner. Salo has another vineyard lined up for '26. In the meantime, this is an excellent way to go out. Brightly coloured with aromas of nectarine kernel, citrus peel, flint and light marine scents. There's a gentle creaminess on the well-weighted palate that finishes chalky, tensile and long. A lovely wine to drink now and over the next four to six years at least. (96+) PHILIP RICH, wine companion
I fell for this wine from the first sip. It's so right that I'm almost lost for words, or for the appropriate ones. It's mellifluous, first and foremost, in the most beautiful of ways. It tastes of white peach, cream, preserved lemons, honeysuckle and lactose, though everything comes at you as one harmonious stream. I will no doubt rate wines higher, but I can't imagine a wine that I would more like to drink. This wine is pure, liquid gorgeousness. (96) CAMPBELL MATTINSON
