"The ’23 vintage is turning out to be a very special one in Margaret River both with chardonnay and cabernet sauvignon, but let’s stay with the former here. This is a humdinger. Sure it’s tightly wound, given its youth and all the electrifying acidity within, but there’s substance and depth, too. A little waxy, refined, with grapefruit, lemon, ginger spice, a dash of oak spices (the 20% new French oak superbly integrated) and a little yuzu tonic water pucker. It’s linear, long, with moreish sulphides, the merest hint of creamy lees and almost a savoury overlay. Brilliant.." 97pts Jane Faulkner Halliday Wine Comapnion
“Incredible purity and focus here, sitting on the edge of reduction. Aromas of sliced lemons, grapefruit, white orchard fruit, oyster shell, crushed rocks and flint. The palate is textural, yet its long line of acidity is not to be underestimated, complemented by underlying power and tension. Classy yet electric and flirtatious. Capable of aging for decades but already mouthwatering. Truly excellent.” 98 points, #27 in James Suckling’s Top 100 Wines of Australia 2025
“This 2023 Reserve Chardonnay hails from the most magnificent 2023 season, which was mild, long and dry. The fruit power here is undeniable. Every aspect of this wine is ratcheted up to 11: acidity, fruit power, volume, length ... the full kit and caboodle.” 97+ points, Erin Larkin, The Wine Advocate
