Under the heading "Top Aussie White" highly regarded wine reviewer Huon Hooke writes of our 2007 Chardonnay: "One of the tidiest Central Ranges chardonnays I've tasted. A well made, rich wine with well handled oak and rich fruit aromas. The palate has a touch of broadness augmented with phenolics. Great value. 90/100."
