95 POINTS - Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
"Pink grapefruit, white peach, hazelnut and spice, light floral notes. It’s bright and fresh, citrus in the driving seat with a little stone fruit in the back, a juicy tang, fine chalk dust texture, a twist of lemon peel cinches a cool finish of excellent length. Beautiful wine here. So lovely to drink. 95+"

 This year’s chardonnay was picked across a seven day period in early March, offering a full flavour profile from the vineyard's lean granitic soil. The fruit was immaculate - fully ripe with ideal natural acidity.

The juice fermented in a mixture of 600 litre demi-muids and 228 litre barriques. As usual, the new oak component is around 25%.

This release shows greater intensity than previous years and an approachable palate, due to the combination of a lighter crop and extended ripening.

Importantly, the wine embodies the hallmark precision and purity of Domenica Estate vineyard.
