Decanter: 95 points

“Vibrant citrus and stone fruit with vanilla and lemon zest. A touch of toasty oak and spice on the palate but fresh acidity and a citrusy finish.”

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 91 points

“All barrel-fermented in 50% new French oak puncheons (500-liter barrels), the 2017 Gimblett Gravels Chardonnay hints at struck match on the nose, followed by scents of toasted nuts and ripe peaches. It's medium to full-bodied, with a plump, silky mouthfeel and a harmonious mixing of flavors some might call seamless. Clean, citrusy notes mark the long finish. Drink dates 2019- 2023.”
