Craiglee Chardonnay 2022

"The 2022 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!" - Winery Notes

"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
