Expert Reviews

Rating 96 - James Halliday Published 01 August 2018

Hand-picked, chilled overnight, whole-bunch pressed to French puncheons for wild fermentation and 10 months maturation before a further 6 months in stainless steel. Very interesting wine, both its sojourn in tank after time in barrel and its alcohol of 14.2% should have given a pronounced shift in mouthfeel versus other Oakridge Chardonnays, but counterintuitively, the finesse ex the vineyard at the outset and the winemaking leave it until the last gasp and aftertaste to do a Harry Potter and magically produce it.

Winery Tasting Notes

Pale straw with green hues. Aroma is complex and intense – struck match, white flowers, lemon leaf, white peach and spice. Depth and volume. The palate is pure and fine. There is a great depth of fruit that builds in intensity as it travels across the mid-palate.

The acidity is fine and fresh and keeps the palate focused. Complexing textural elements of the barrel fermentation interweave with the fruit and acidity to complete the package. The wine is in a beautiful place.

Winery Profile

Since its founding in 1978, Oakridge has been making wines in the Yarra Valley and has produced some of the finest examples of cool climate wines seen in Australia.Oakridge is family owned, with a philosophy of producing wines that reflect the terroir of the Yarra Valley.
