  1. Oakridge 864 Funder & Diamond Drive Block Chardonnay 2017 (6x 750ml), VIC

Wine Summary Image

The Oakridge 864 Funder & Diamond Drive Block Chardonnay is one of the giants of Australian Chardonnay.

Crafted by one of the country's most gifted makers of the variety, this single block wine is considered by many as a benchmark wine for the region. The 2017 vintage is characterised by coiled power and intensity. It shows powerful fruit which is beautifully framed by trimmings of fine French oak and some savoury lees character. Complexity tempered with an easy approachability. It's a wine to behold.

This is an excellent release of this much revered icon of the Yarra Valley.

Expert Reviews

Rated 97 points, James Halliday

Hand-picked and sorted, pressed to French puncheons (20% new) for wild ferment and 10 months maturation. Incredible length and aftertaste, a Yarra Valley classic. Winner James Halliday Chardonnay Challenge '19

Rated 96 points, Campbell Mattinson - The Wine Front

864. Oakridge. Funder & Diamond. Chardonnay. The 2017 vintage. It comes in a heavy bottle now. Well. Intensity of fruit, a general succulence, matchsticks flung into the flavour, pears, whites peaches, grapefruit squeezed straight in, finish. It runs like it’s awesome, to borrow a line. I’m not a winemaker but I almost felt jealous, just tasting this, which says it all.

Winery Tasting Notes

A warm spring and mild summer has resulted in excellent crops and ideal harvesting conditions. The wines have outstanding depth of flavor and structure.

All grapes were hand harvested and sorted prior to whole bunch pressing directly to French oak puncheons for natural fermentation. 20% of the barrels were new. Post-fermentation, the wine was sulphured and matured on its gross lees for 10 months, prior to blending and bottling after a single filtration.

Drink until 2035
