2022 Collector Tiger Tiger Chardonnay

95 POINTS

Kasia Sobiesiak - The Wine Front

Peanut brittle and pink grapefruit, lots of flavour sits upfront, it’s very satisfying, fans out with crème anglaise and white peach. Good melange of spice, creamy mid-palate, acidic tension and lightly salty nuance enhancing the flavour profile. It’s a very good wine and as per the score record with a very good consistency and price too.

Jane Faulkner - Halliday's Wine Companion

The power and finesse of Tumbarumba chardonnay are on show here, folks. And at its best. This is flinty and a little funky with lemon blossom and mock orange to twitch the nose and mouth-watering flavours teasing the palate. Full of Meyer lemon, ginger spice and nougat with a layer of creamy lees adding texture while the fine acidity is both cleansing and spine-tingling. It finishes long, precise and with conviction.

Angus Hughson - Vinous

The 2022 Chardonnay Tiger Tiger showcases the finer, taut style of Tumbarumba in a stylish and absolute bargain of a wine. A well-constructed core of peach and melon fruit is lifted by touches of lanolin and crushed cashews, with a significant dose of gunflint for good measure. There is a lovely line to this wine, held taut by fresh but well-integrated acidity and carrying through a singular, lengthy finish.

Oyster shells, grapefruit, roasted chestnuts and pralines on the nose, with a hint of matchsticks. It’s creamy and medium-bodied with attractive nutty and flinty undertones, while remaining very fresh. Drink now. Screw cap.
