Ray Jordan
One of the best chardonnays from Smithbrook in recent years. Really nails it in every way. Immediately opens with a mix of stone fruit and cutting lemon tang merging with a roasted almond character. The palate is intense and penetrating with the support of a fine persistent acidity. Has a savoury minerally finish to complete a very tidy wine. Super value wine.

Huon Hooke - The Real Review
Pale straw yellow colour, the nose offers inviting soft tropical fruit and grapefruit aromas. Medium weight and still rather closed, it has delicious purity of fruit in the mouth, finishing long and elegant. Should build richness with a couple of years in bottle.
Mike Bennie - Halliday Wine Companion
An easy-going, slurpy and fresh-feeling chardonnay with typical characters of stone fruits, nougat, sweet lime, briny minerality and a touch of cinnamon/clove woodiness. It's even and flows well, trickles through the back palate with lime sorbet notes and a sense of that sweet-woody spice. A bit simple overall, but delivers on its promise well.
