96 Points - James Halliday - Wine Companion

"Has that extra level of texture and structure providing the framework for more freedom to work on ways to introduce X-factor displays that increase the drive and length. Akin to a snowball rolling down a mountainside."

95 Points - Huon Hooke - The Real Review

"Light, bright yellow hue. Very complex cashew, almond and lightly-toasty bouquet, with a subtle note of smoky reduction - more subtle than in the regular Seville chardy. The palate is refined and gorgeously flavoured, long and delicate and stylish. A wine of real finesse. (The Reserve is made from the best barrels from a south-facing block)"

95 Points - Ralph Kyte-Powell - The Real Review

"Chardonnay is one of Australia’s greatest wines, with a number of regions across the country producing impressive refinement and style. Victoria’s Yarra Valley is one of the best, and this example should be a regional benchmark. It’s very complex, but it’s so subtle that it could be overlooked in a line-up of more powerful chardonnays. A heart of white peachy fruit is layered with nutty, leesy notes, a touch of butterscotch, and some lightly smoky sulphide. All is harmony, and the palate follows with deliciously fine flavours and elegant texture, finishing very long and fragrant."

95 Points - Gary Walsh - The Wine Front

"Almond, white peach, citrus, lemon peel, light spicy oak tucked in discreetly. It’s light, has a little gloss, but really surges through the finish. Gentle and understated, a little bit of green just gives it colour, and the crunch and texture is assured. Excellent."
