Mayfield Vineyard Block 14 Chardonnay 2022

 

Three wines make up the "Premier Range" for Mayfield Vineyard and this Block 14 Chardonnay is by far the best of the lot - well, I think so anyway. Flinty with a concentration of peach, this a fabulous wine hailing from Orange, NSW.

Josef Chromy Chardonnay 2022

 

Quite a commercial style of Chardonnay, it's easy to see why this has so much appeal. It's a crowd pleaser done well with some sprinkle dust to add polish.

Stonehaven Limited Vineyard Release Chardonnay 2022

 

What a tidy wine this is! It's not going to break the bank and it's not going to bring home a swag of trophies, but it will deliver pleasure to those who seek a solid and reliable example of Chardonnay.

Josef Chromy Brut Finesse Rose 2017

 

What a delightful fizz we have here from Josef Chromy. An energetic bead and blush appearance on the eye, it slides down all too easily.

Jim Brand Yates Chardonnay 2022

 

Coonawarra Chardonnays deliver an inherent richness. Although this example is not weighty, the generosity cannot be disputed. Roast chook night is looking up with this in your glass.

Bobar Wines Chardonnay 2022

 


It's great to see Bobar come across the tasting bench. I've only ever had their Gamay previously which was bought on recommendation (note, it was superb!). Sunshine in a glass, this Chardonnay doesn't miss a beat. A smart expression of the variety and then some.

Crittenden The Zumma Chardonnay 2021

 


There's a subtlety yet precision about the drive of this Mornington Peninsula Chardonnay from Crittenden Estate. The top of the range, this is just brilliant.

Parker Coonawarra Estate Cool Climate Chardonnay 2022

 


A slight tweak to the name with the appearance of 'Cool Climate' but the quality for the price point has not budged. This is solid Chardy for the money right here.

Soumah Equilibrio Chardonnay 2022

 

Soumah's Equilibrio Chardonnay is a selection of the best barrels from their Hexham vineyard. A wine that generally holds a wonderful presence, the vintage variation is clear with this release.

Crittenden Estate Kangerong Chardonnay 2021

 


I'm here for the texture. Coating the mouth with splendour, this is a great Mornington Peninsula Chardonnay from Crittenden Estate.

Soumah Hexham Chardonnay 2022

 

I've been a big fan of the single vineyard Hexham Chardonnay from Soumah over the years. From a tough vintage, this 2022 drops back a little.

Good gear this from Crittenden Estate. Their entry level of three Chardonnays, this is ready to go.

Heggies Vineyard Single Block Reserve Chardonnay 2021

 

Lean and precise, the focus is telling when this Single Block Reserve Chardonnay lined up alongside its siblings. The Estate is more compelling with some richness whereas the detail is more direct here. 

Heggies Vineyard Estate Chardonnay 2021

 


In short, this Heggies Vineyard Estate Chardonnay is flinty, complex and layered. A glorious wine and one you could muse over for some time. Winning!

Heggies Vineyard Cloudline Chardonnay 2022

 

Fresh and ready to go, this is a bright and engaging Eden Valley Chardonnay from Heggies Vineyard.

A blend of all the white varieties on the Soumah property, Viognier, Savagnin, Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay come together to deliver a textural and thought provoking white.
