2024 Ashton Hills Piccadilly Valley Chardonnay

94 POINTS

Erin Larkin - Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2024 Piccadilly Valley Chardonnay leads with toasty reduction and a rich, enveloping nose of stone fruits, exotic spices and curry leaf. The palate follows in this same vein, offering a whole lot of wine for the money. The finish is lean and a little metallic, the reduction serving to clip the finish rather than allow an easy flow of unbroken flavor. However, this remains a very impressive wine, one that I am sure will please legions of thirsty Chardonnay drinkers. 13% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

Mike Bennie - Halliday Wine Companion

Bright and fresh, clean and lively. A pure-feeling chardonnay with gentle influence of nougat and cinnamon oak characters amongst red apple, green mango, lemon curd and nashi pear fruit characters. Right on. Shy of medium weight, a little crispness and yet pleasing haziness to texture, the finish a twist of pink grapefruit freshness. Great drink.

Angus Hughson - Vinous

The 2024 Chardonnay Piccadilly Valley ripples with spiced pear and grapefruit aromas, lifted by significant oak laced with gunflint reduction. Excellent underlying tension, thanks to finely balanced, mouthwatering acidity, drives a strong and youthful finish. A keeper that will offer plenty in the years to come.
