The fruit for this 2019 Chardonnay was grown in the Meadowbank vineyard, in the Derwent Valley, in Tasmania. On the nose, there are crushed nuts, almond meal, fresh curry leaves and red apple skins. It is rich and full-bodied (pH of 3.25, total acidity of 7.7 grams per liter, for those interested) and exhibits a reverberation of flavor retention in the mouth after the wine has gone. It's like an echo chamber of fruit characters. The Meadowbank vineyard is widely respected in Tasmania as a high-quality fruit resource, and it is situated in the Upper Derwent Valley. Due to its positioning, the vineyard is subject to high diurnal range and very little assistance from cooling sea breezes. The cold nights lock in the natural acidity, while the warm days ripen the fruit, responsible for the voluptuousness and density that is veined by a throbbing pulse of juicy acidity. From experience, this wine holds up well alongside other Australian and international Chardonnays of acclaim, which, at $68AUD, makes it exceptionally well priced. Drink it now, or anytime in the next decade.Inc. GSTSG$566.15 -

Singed bush, eucalypt, campfire remains and black tea rise out of the glass of this 2019 Chardonnay. Beneath it all, there's struck match, salty reduction and layers of preserved lemon, brine and a hint of camphor. In the mouth, the wine forges a path across the palate, stopping for no man (or woman), and cascades off the back of the palate into a long abyss of endless flavor. It spools and spirals, and if it had a sound, it would fade slowly until it was hard to discern between sensation and memory. This is an utter pleasure to drink, to consider and to smell. With an inexhaustible length of flavor, it is immune to hyperbole. Drink it whenever you like to drink Chardonnay—for me, that's from 2023 onward.Inc. GSTSG$2,674.27 -

Having tasted five bottles of this remarkable wine over the past year (most of them mine), I can confirm that it is evolving and changing with time in the bottle, but each time I taste it, I am amazed by its ability to highlight parts of the wine I may not have focused on the last time I tasted it. Twice this week, the 2021 Estate Vineyard Chardonnay has spoken first of its reduction and flint: it is bony and austere and taut, and I mean this in the best of ways. It speaks of its architecture currently, over its fruit. Yet it is propelled by the fruit. Giaconda manages focus and precision alongside its famous reduction, and this is what separates it from other producers in the country. It may be easy to can the reduction if it's not your preferred quality in Chardonnay, but the fruit and phenolic focus of the wine is untouchable. This is inimitable.

A focused, sharp line of citrus flavours and aromas is driven by clean, crisp acidity, with tightly wound lemon and sharp green apple notes propelled by measured power.

Seven clones comprising 114, 115, MV6, D2V5, D5V15, Pommard and Abel. Whole bunches (40%) and 20–25% new French barriques. 2022 was a hard act to follow, but this superb wine gives it a shake. Exotic, aromatic and pure with its bouquet of wild strawberries, dark cherries, quince, spices and flowers. Densely packed, this saturates the palate, but, as always, it's light on its feet at the same time. Seamless tannins round out another benchmark for what's already a benchmark wine.In BondSG$413.00 -
