"Packed with nuts and nougat, peaches and stone fruits and creamy honey. Assertive study acid holds the richness in check."
Nick Stock, Wine100, June 2011
Gourmet Traveller 97 Points!"This has more power and concentration than the Petrie Chardonnay but with a similar balance of elegant stone- and citrus-fruit flavours with nutty, mealy characters. A balanced, complex chardonnay."
Gourmet Traveller Wine, April 2011
"Aromas of nectarine, white peach, and delicate grapefruit blossom provide a very promising first impression. The first taste delivers beyond expectations - note the very fine entry opening out to a silky, supple mid palate. From a slightly warmer vintage, the 2009 is more open and seductive as a younger wine but still has the classic length of finish that is the trademark of Craighall Chardonnay.
This highly regarded Chardonnay is produced predominantly from low-yielding, 'hen & chicken' berried Mendoza clone vines planted at Craighall Vineyard over 25 years ago. Indigenous yeasts that hang about the vineyard and winery all year round, magically transform the juice through a relatively slow onset of fermentation, resulting in a very textural, multi-faceted wine."
