2022 Moss Brothers Fidium Chardonnay

95 POINTS

Sam Kim - Wine Orbit

Gorgeously styled and complex, the bouquet shows ripe stone fruit, lemon peel, vanilla and spicy oak characters, leading to a wonderfully weighted palate delivering refined texture backed by beautifully pitched acidity. Multi-layered and immensely appealing.

Wine Pilot

Margaret River continues to offer amazing Chardonnay. This 2022 vintage example is still largely in its infancy and there is much more to come from this fine wine. The colour is pale lemon with flecks of green. A complex and intense nose, despite its youth, with figs, nuts, a hint of nutmeg from the oak, peaches and stonefruits. There is good length here with a gentle fade. This should continue to improve over the next four to six years, but is off to a flying start. Match it with richly flavoured seafood.

The 2022 Fidium Chardonnay is vibrantly aromatic in the glass—I can smell it from a foot away—and it brings forth white peach, Granny Smith apples, layers of nashi pear and preserved citrus. While these are classical Margaret River Chardonnay characters, the second tranche of flavors encompasses paw paw/guava, lemon curd, grapefruit and a hint of nougat. In the mouth, juicy acid defines the fruit, cutting and chiseling it into shape. The warmth of the season is evident in the broad splay of flavors through the finish, yet it is tight and poised within that. 12% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
