"Voluptuous and plush thanks to all the flavours and texture amassed within. Yellow peaches doused in baking spices, vanilla essence and sweet cedary oak with honeyed-creamy lees yet refreshing acidity too. A decadent style, and fans of big chardonnay will be pleased indeed."

"This young, vibrant 2023 Chardonnay Ribbon Vale offers piercing aromas of grapefruit, nectarine and preserved lemon wrapped in prominent but well-balanced oak. Tangy tutti-frutti flavors follow with impressive focus before nutty barrel fermentation and maturation build through to the finish. It’s too young to drink right now, but it has good potential."
