Description / Reviews
"Medium-light yellow colour with a complex and inviting bouquet of toasted nuts, nougat, smoky flintiness, creamy lees, a dairy note and underlying lemon/lime—especially evident on the palate. There is excellent concentration and persistence, as well as layers of complex flavours. Wonderful chardonnay, full of flavour and generosity. Fully satyisfying." - 96 Points, Huon Hooke, The Real Review
"The 2023 Elston Chardonnay has been made since 1984, this being its 29th vintage. The nose leads with a profusion of white pineapple and green apple, roasted hazelnut/cashew and white flowers. There is an abundance of toasty oak, but it's not the main player onstage, which is great. It supports the fruit, and in the mouth, the purity and power of the fruit really emerges. There is really structural grip and shape to the wine, and the acidity is juicy and feels woven into every aspect. It is impressive, flavorsome and almost achingly intense, with great length through the finish. Recommended." - 94 Points, Erin Larkin, Robert Parker Wine Advocate
