Professional Reviews

Robert Parker

RP 96
"Everything about this wine oozes restraint and composure. The 2023 Larderdark Chardonnay leads with chalk and florals, citrus pith and musk sticks, crushed nuts and brine. On the palate, the wine is long and enveloping, with no hard edges or angles, and the length is a remarkable thing in and of itself. Pastry, baking spice and dried green herbs emerge. It is quite different in character to the 2022 wine, and personally, I prefer the character of this iteration.However, they are both exceptional wines. It comes from low-yielding vines (144 grams per vine, which is 12 hectoliters per hectare), went through full malolactic and matured in three Wineglobes and one new Stockinger barrique. The oak is apparent but not intrusive, and the sapid core of lime flavor is like bursting a finger lime parcel on the tongue: pure and stinging. This is a beautiful wine here. 974 bottles filled. 12.9% alcohol, sealed under screw Diam and wax." -Erin Larkin

What importer Skurnik Wines has to say about this wine...

100% Chardonnay
Sourced from their Place of Changing Winds property on the southern foothills of Mount Macedon in Victoria, 500m ASL
Surrounded by the massive native Larderdark Forest, the vineyard is a genuinely cool site with good rain, cold nights, and a wide diurnal range
Almost 45,000 vines planted across three hectares, with astonishing densities of mostly 12,000 and 14,000 vines per hectare but also significant plots at 20,000, 25,000 and even 33,000 vines per hectare
Minuscule yields in 2023 of only 144g per vine or 12 hectoliters per hectare
Hand harvested
Crushed under human weight then direct-pressed into three 220L glass WineGlobe demijohns and one new 228L Stockinger barrique for fermentation (primary and malolactic) and aging
Only 974 bottles produced
