Main Ridge Chardonnay 2018
mornington peninsula,
australia
$85
Follows in the footsteps of prior vintages, always generous and satisfying - and quite different to most Mornington Peninsula chardonnays. This is layered and rich, citrus on buttered toast to arrive later in the development cycle. Drink to 2028. 95 Points. James Halliday.
Single vineyard, 43 year old vines, 100% barrel fermented, 100% malo.
Powerhouse style done well. Brimful of ripe, sweet peach and pear with melon and custard apple swinging through. Flint, as flashes. Toasty, creamy, cedary oak and a good deal of it, but the power of the fruit is up to it. Not a shrinking violet. In complete command. Drink 2021-2030. 94 Points. Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front.
