2023 Moss Brothers Fidium Chardonnay

94 POINTS

Sam Kim - Wine Orbit

Wonderfully fruited with complex nuances, the wine shows ripe peach, fig, vanilla and almond meal characters on the nose. The concentrated palate displays creamy texture with bright acidity, finishing expansive and persistent. This is splendidly composed and expressed with layers of delectable flavours.

The cracking Chardonnays from Margaret River just seem to be part of an endless production line – a great thing for winelovers. This one has seen wild yeast fermentation and French oak maturation. Pale lemon hue, the nose is an intriguing mix of ginger, white peaches, citrus, stonefruits, lemongrass and limey acidity. There is evidence of gentle integration of French oak, which adds a vanillin/nutmeg note to the flavours and an extra creamy layer to the texture. There is good intensity and balance throughout, with focus and impressive length. So much to like here. Enjoy over the next six to eight years.

Peaches, lemons, dried grapefruit, oyster shells and nougat on the nose. It’s sleek, medium- to full-bodied and deliciously salty on the palate, with minerals and subtle flinty complexity.

Jane Faulkner - Halliday Wine Companion

It’s hard to coax much out of this other than a hint of citrus and a touch of spice. A lean style led by acidity rather than flavour, and yet, surprisingly, it finishes short.
