'The 2023 Chardonnay is bright and very pale with hints of nectarine, citrus & cashew on the nose. A full-bodied, full flavoured wine with grapefruit, white peach and lemon peel on the palate. It has plenty of energy to drink now and will also cellar well. Enjoy!' Pat Carmody, Winemaker

'Strong winds off the cool Southern Ocean may well help to keep vines and wines fresh. If Craiglee Shiraz is extra-fine, the Chardonnay is rather idiosyncratic (and so is the Shiraz in an Australian context, so discreet is it). Instead of aping the current Australian Chardonnay super-skinny norm, Craiglee's version is somewhat unreconstructed: exuberant fruit but remarkably high in natural acidity, partly thanks to suppressing the usual softening malolactic conversion. These too are definitely designed to age.' Jancis Robinson MW, OBE
