A Rodda Willow Lake Vineyard Yarra Chardonnay 2022
$55.00Almost invariably the most sought after wine of the release, no doubt due to the fame of this vineyard. A real statement of Yarra cool, waving the flag for contemporary Australian Chardonnay, pioneered in the Yarra Valley. Almost Puligny like in it’s initial aromatic reticence and floral notes. But with a bit of warmth, comes […]

Lambert Wines Chardonnay 2022
$55.00A delight to just smell, let alone drink, the stony Denton soils shine through scents of ripe citrus fruits and white flowers. Texturally too, it is simply gorgeous, with compact, chalky weight aligned to lithe acidity, a whisper of grip and pent-up energy. Poised, driven and sustained, it’s Yarra Valley Chardonnay at the peak of […]

$27.00Bondar’s 2021 Fiano is made with fruit from the Lacey block, three kilometres due east of the pristine Maslin Beach coastline.

Gembrook Hill Blanc de Blancs 2017
$65.00Made from chardonnay planted in 1983. Traditional method, six years on tirage, 6.15g/L dosage. Bright gold with green tinges. Lively, complex and understated from the first sip. Aromas of poached pear, white peach, orange zest, lightly toasted nuts and a little candied ginger. As always with this cuvée, there’s rapier-like acidity, but this is more […]

Mac Forbes Yarra Valley Chardonnay 2022
$35.00Such an excellent value wine and classic Yarra Valley. Needed some time to open up, perhaps I tried it too cold? High tones all the way, with lime, lemon, pink grapefruit, gardenia and mandarin blossom. Mouthwatering and very tense, there’s a dimension of extract that tensions the bright acidity and tangy fruit. Very focused and […]

Salo Yarra Valley Chardonnay 2022
$50.00From the early 2000s-planted Full Moon vineyard in the Upper Yarra. Natural fermentation on full solids, and no lees stirring or mlf. At Salo, Dave Mackintosh and Steve Flamsteed only make one Yarra wine, and the 2022 is another ripper. From a low-yielding vintage, this is slightly more powerful than the 2021 and here you’ll […]

MMAD Chenin Blanc 2022
$45.00The second release of this wine sees more depth and texture, reflecting an evolution of making after winemaker Adam Wadewitz got the measure of grape and site – on Maslin sands over ironstone. There’s chew and race in equal measure, with tart golden apples, ripe Meyer lemon, cool stone fruit, sea spray and savoury elements […]

Bicknell FC Applecross Chardonnay 2021
$55.00From a 330m elevation vineyard in the Upper Yarra. Whole-bunched pressed to older puncheons. Natural fermentation and no mlf. A touch riper and more concentrated than last year’s version. Aromas of red apples and just-ripened orchard fruits with a little flint. Fans out nicely on the palate. Gently savoury and with a touch of grip […]

Giant Steps Tarraford Chardonnay 2020
$60.00A soft, delicate, restrained wine with aromas of white flowers and a whiff of almond meal. Cashew-nutty too. A more straightforward style and a trifle short on the finish compared to other vineyards. It’s remarkably backward and restrained considering it’s the lowest altitude vineyard and earliest harvested. 92 Points – Huon Hooke, The Real Review […]

Juxtaposed Fiano 2022
$32.00Intense aromatics of lemon sorbet, fresh herbs, pear, lime marmalade and white bread. Succulent, juicy, tangy and slightly textural, with savoury spice, fig, tarragon and bergamot. Delightfully different, with a round shape, great acid line and chalky/salty finish. Waters Wine Co I’ve been following this winery for a time now and enjoying the experience. […]

Bloody Hill Villages Coldstream Chardonnay 2023
$42.00A chardonnay that is impossible not to like. Fresh, bright and intense, with melon, white peach, nectarine, jasmine, quince and mandarin. Lovely tension between the hyper fresh citrus notes and the richer, fleshy stone fruits. A nod to both contempory and classic Yarra Valley. Waters Wine Co

Mac Forbes Yarra Junction Chardonnay 2022
$65.00This is the style of chardonnay that put Mac Forbes on the map – tight, saline, intense and mouthwatering. Green apple, citrus – fresh, preserved, and acacia honey, pink grapefruit and white peach. Super tense and tight, the skin contact adding just that little bit of texture and mid palate oomph. Very long, never deviating […]

Juxtaposed Wait Vineyard Grenache 2021
$50.00Sumptuous grenache, with incredibly intense aromatics, perfectly pitched palate weight, balance and tension. There is a tangy sweetness to the hedge fruit compote; blackberry, blueberry, mulberry, plum and raspberry. Certainly darker and sweeter fruit than the Smart vineyard grenache and this is offset by savoury elements. Chocolate orange, fennel, baking spices and Jacaranda flower drop. […]

Rich and full bodied with fresh flowers, lime, honey, nashi pear, dried pineapple, passionfruit, apricot and spice. Lovely curve and flesh, with invigorating freshness. Waters Wine Co

Mac Forbes Woori Yallock Chardonnay 2022
$65.00Tight like a tiger. Beautiful expression of Woori Yallock, very complex and animated. Lemon, lime, mandarin, citrus blossom, zest and preserved citrus. Wide plane across the palate, yet linear and focused, with just the right amount of flesh. Salty, long and unashamedly contemporary. Waters Wine Co From two vineyards in Woori Yallock. A few […]

Gembrook Hill Chardonnay 2022
$50.002022 was a cooler, later vintage, perfect for the Gembrook Hill style, of purity, restraint and elegance. Singular in style, with the weight, length and silky texture of Chablis. The flavours though are entirely unique, combining essence of grapefruit, white flowers, kiwifruit, lime and white peach. The balance and tension of elements is incredible, a […]

Tillie J Yarra Valley Chardonnay 2022
$40.00What a terrific followup to the fabulous 2021. Zingy, tangy fleshy. Intense notes of lemon, preserved, fresh and zest. Green apple, grapefruit, jasmine, orange blossom, almond paste, pastry, oak spice and cream. Linear in shape, certainly a contemporary Yarra style, yet with extract and sinew. Reminiscent of the new wave coming out of the Maconnais, […]
