95 Points - Jeni Port | Last Stocks
The cool climate Adelaide Hills has long been considered one of Australia's best regions for Chardonnay and this 2021 Wicks Estate Chardonnay underlines value-for-money it's capable of delivering.
A Chardonnay of wide appeal, this offers the typical crisp, pristine cool-climate flavours of white peach, citrus and nectarine. A small amount of quality French oak adds complexity, to the savoury palate of this delicious drinking Chardonnay. At this limited time discounted price, you'd struggle to find a better value-for-money Chardonnay anywhere in Australia.
"95 Points. Fermented in stainless-steel and French oak. Matured 10–12 months in French oak (25% new). With ex-Seppelt winemaker Adam Carnaby at the helm, expectations are high. They are met in full with this terrific, fully-energised young chardonnay. Polished and focused in citrus and stone fruits, it shows additional complex ferment-derived characters as it works its way across the palate briskly. One more-ish chardonnay!. $25. 12.5% alc. Drink: 2028. Screwcap."- Jeni Port, Halliday Wine Companion 2023.
