This pristine Adelaide Hills Chardonnay is drawn from sustainably managed vines with an average age of 20-plus years, rooted in high-elevation sites in Oakbank, Lenswood, Lobethal and Piccadilly Valley. The fruit was handpicked and whole-bunch-pressed with wild barrel ferment and maturation in both puncheons and barriques for 10 months (approx. 20% new).

2022 was an exceptional vintage for the Hills, delivering great depth and flavour whilst retaining excellent natural acidity, giving rise to this mouth-wateringly incisive and textured bottling. The wine displays plenty of that Murdoch Hill elegance and finesse, with subtle complexity from barrel fermentation adding to the silky flow of ripe stone fruit, white flowers and complex citrus character. Finishing with a lovely mineral snap, it’s a superb release from one of the country’s great Chardonnay makers.

Reviews

"A mid-weighted expression that plies a riff of mineral tension as much as a generosity of stone fruits rolling across a creamy waft of cashew, nougat and white fig with some oak cuddling the seams. A wine that is as easy drinking as it is subtly complex."
91 points, Ned Goodwin MW, The Wine Companion
"Wow kinda chardy. Tightly wound but with juiciness. Almost on medium weight. Skittish acidity keeping things fresh, saline, briny, flinty notes gently there, a lot of lovely cashew and almond savouriness and then you notice, green apple, tart lime, anise. It’s crystalline and bright. It’s structured and finishes long. Delicious."
