2024 Mystery Margaret River Chardonnay Deal No. 5839

95 POINTS

Sam Kim - Wine Orbit

Supremely elegant with enticing complexity, the wine shows rockmelon, apricot, lemon curd, vanilla, and cedar characters on the nose. The palate offers excellent focus and weight, with saline texture and beautifully pitched acidity, making it exquisite and graceful with a prolonged, structured finish.

Ken Gargett - Winepilot

An excellent Margaret River Chardonnay, the wine spent time maturing in top-notch French oak. The colour of this fresh and youthful Chardy is a pale yellow with green flecks. There is elegance here, with serious intensity and focus. The flavours weave through stone fruits, florals, citrus, most notably bright grapefruit notes, spices and nutmeg. The flavours here are slightly more forward than some at this stage but in time, one expects this to evolve and expand. The oak is well in the process of integration. A wine of medium length, with a seductive texture and citrussy acidity, which will provide pleasure for at least the next three to five years.

Jane Faulkner - Halliday Wine Companion

It takes grapefruit and lemon, white peach and custard apple, adds a touch of spice and sweet, cedary oak to make a complete drink. It’s also a little flinty, zesty and invigorating thanks to the acidity.
