95 points. – James Halliday’s Wine Companion

A striking single-vineyard Chardonnay from a high-altitude Macedon Ranges site, the 2023 Midhill opens with lifted aromatics of lemon zest, grapefruit and white florals, underscored by flinty minerality and subtle lees complexity. The palate is tightly wound yet expressive — citrus and stone fruit are framed by saline, mineral tension, with hints of toasted nuts and pastry adding depth. Bright, “sherbet-like” acidity drives the wine, giving it energy, precision and a long, evolving finish that speaks clearly of its cool-climate origin. Ideal with grilled lobster, butter-poached seafood, roast chicken or creamy pasta — dishes that complement its balance of freshness, texture and savoury complexity while matching its vibrant acidity.
