96 / 100"Despite the heartbreak of low yields, meaning there are no single-block chardonnays this vintage, there is this exceptional wine. A perfect amalgam of stone fruit and citrus, zest and spice, savoury oak and cedar, mouth-watering acidity and creamy lees. A delicious wine. Get it while you can."

Tasting Notes
Introducing the Yabby Lake 'Single Vineyard' Chardonnay 2022, a truly exceptional wine that exemplifies the elegance and finesse of the Yabby Lake Estate in Victoria, Australia. On the nose, you'll discover enticing aromas of ripe citrus, white peach, and delicate floral notes, which combine harmoniously with subtle hints of vanilla and toasty oak. As you take your first sip, the wine's beautifully balanced acidity and creamy texture come alive, providing a delightful mouthfeel. The palate unfolds with layers of flavors, revealing a perfect harmony between the fruit and oak. Zesty lemon, juicy nectarine, and a touch of pineapple dance on your taste buds, while nuanced hints of hazelnut and butterscotch add complexity and depth. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a lingering impression that will entice you to take another sip.
