Hochkirch Tarrington Vineyards Chardonnay 2022
$70.00Every wine from Hochkirch sits on a plane of extraordinary quality and great value. Beyond the tension, detail and sensual complexity, is a texturally beautiful, intricate and woven wine, all the threads coming together yet somehow separate. The 2022 Tarrington Vineyards Chardonnay is perfection and I defy anyone who says they don’t like Chardonnay not […]

Christian Moreau Chablis AC 2021
$75.00Out of Stock
”(100% stainless). Moderate reduction pushes the underlying fruit to the background though there is good verve and detail to the rich medium weight flavors that terminate in a clean, dry and bitter citrus rind-inflected finish. This is actually quite good and worth considering for a wine that should repay short to perhaps mid-term keeping.” 88-91 […]

Traviarti Chardonnay 2023
$50.00Aged in 600 litre Stockinger demi muids, it’s a testament to the richness and depth of fruit that the oak plays only a supporting role. 2023 is a cool, wet vintage and this is looking very Chablis-like, with its silky texture, mineral grip, oyster shell and long line of salinity. Medium bodied, rounder in shape […]

A Rodda Triangle Block Chardonnay 2021
$90.00From a tiny patch of vines within Smith’s vineyard. More new wood here and longer time in barrel, so it’s essentially classically styled and not a ‘contemporary’ expression as the other chardonnays are. Beautifully pure aromas of spring jasmine, honeycomb, mandarin, yellow and white peach and very fine oak. Very deep, brooding, fleshy, a masterclass […]

Bondar Adelaide Hills Chardonnay 2022
$38.00All the bells and whistles applied with aplomb, from a smoky, creamed cashew nose of barrel fermentation to a generous mid-palate flecked with crystalline mineral shards, pungent miso and candied cumquat. White peach and nectarine accents teem long across a juicy trail, just fresh enough. Light years away from any thin, linear expression. A chardonnay […]

Gerard Duplessis Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons 2019
