A great example of modern Australian Chardonnay. Winemaker David Bicknell says the Lusatia Park vineyard provides tension. Flavours are in the lime and grapefruit spectrum and a little lean for my palate preferring the more fleshy stone fruit styles of Leeuwin and Pierro. 17.5+ — 10 years ago
2nd best Oakridge Chardonnay to their 864 but punching well above its weight. Fuller creamier palate than some of the leaner burnt match styles from David Bicknell. Very good 17.5+. Drank another one 2 years later on 26 March 2017. A bit of whole bunch funk. Citrus notes but filling out on the palate to be medium bodied and delicious. Impressive. Would give it 92 points now. — 11 years ago

Dave Bicknell (Oakridge) has struck out on his own to make this classically Gippsland Pinot. I love the balance of dark Gippsland fruit and mouth puckering acidity. Quite a debut! James Haliday 97 pointer — 10 years ago
