6 years too old. Drink earlier - stunning 2-5 years old.

Getting too old

2018 vintage

Amazing for the price

2018 vintage

A bit of reductive struck match on the nose, but underneath lots of grapefruit and slightly underripe white peach. Still light to mid weight palate in a Chablis style, white peach, minerally and nice fresh acidity. Well put together chardonnay with real finesse, though in the end May lacking in real,fruit depth, but for the price, a real bargain

2018 vintage

smoked bacon fat, toasted peach and orange. Juicy, struck match to the fore on the palate, textured burr, fruit struggles a bit but shows as per the nose. Time?

2022 vintage

We thought that this Chardonnay was good for a weekday meal. Nothing really stood out with it, either good or bad.

This is a good everyday, inexpensive chardonnay with medium body.

Leaner racier style with little give on the nose. Melon and almond meal. Lovely balanced Chardonnay. Great texture and length.

2013 vintage

Bright, fresh, and fruit-forward Australian Chardonnay with a dry finish, this was a bargain on sale at Lidl. I’m glad I bought three bottles.

Lovely. A little struck match on nose. Melon, ripe citrus / lemon sherbet, nuts, flinty minerality. The slightest tad blowsy on warming. Copious length and delightful chalk dust grip argues for perhaps higher points.

2013 vintage

Pear, grapefruit, buttery

2018 vintage

Some felt tipped pens and oak on the palate overrides what I thought was fairly faint golden delicious apple lacking sweetness. I won't buy again but the price is fair. If you want to spend AU$30+ then try Nocturnes SR Chardonnay instead. Rated 85: Good. (But closer to average).

2018 vintage

White flowers, sautéed apple, peach, lemon butter, stone fruits, oats. Cleansing acid spine and ample length. Wish I’d bought more, sooo good.

2018 vintage

Scores highly because for its price tag it punches way above its weight. Should really be in the 30s as the user below said. Not super super complex but deserves a $30 price rather than mid 20s. Nice little struck match flavour.

2018 vintage

Smells and tastes like a $35 plus Chardonnay. If you are looking for a wine that strikes a beautiful balance between the older buttery oak driven style and the fresher more recent style with a long acid spine to support the rich fruit then this is a go to wine. Great to drink right now.

2018 vintage

Pale gold. No variation. Everything is soft and smooth. So easy to drink.

2013 vintage

Kaffir lime and grapefruit with some biscuit and butter on the end.

2018 vintage

Fresh lovely acid. Lemon curd with a touch of biscuit. Great mineral drive. Classy.

2018 vintage

Bright clear light lemon yellow. Looks youthful! Inviting nose of ripe green melon a touch of rockmelon and hints of white flowers. More melon and white peach on the palate and gorgeous mouthfeel. Finishes long and satisfying. Complex and completely inviting the next sip. Bravo!

2013 vintage

Nice buttery development but still plenty of fresh primary fruit showing up. Delicious and drinking very well now.

2013 vintage

Bouquet of tropical fruit and citrus. The taste is clean and fruity, and a hint of vanilla. But a simple, a bit flat, cheap and superficial wine that does not give anything exciting back. Drink it happily in a sushi bar, but not for the special occasions.

2011 vintage

Haven't had this for a while , colour hasn't changed much still mid gold bright and clear, on the nose still very dominant with tropical fruits and on the palate good fruit and chewy acidity , good length

2009 vintage

Popped and poured ,Wow what a fantastic wine, not having had this before amazing barrel fermented wine for around $25 Pale gold in colour nice and bright Complex nose of white peach nectarine tropical fruits pineapple melon Palate 6 years on it has a beautiful balance of fruit acid and tannins seamless finish Overall lots to like here , still only a pup C 15/15 N 26/28 P 41/44 O 9/11

2009 vintage

Nice citrus notes are the driving force here, with some stone fruit and a hint of tropical fruit rounding it out. Hint of wood. Plusher than I expected on the palate, which was round with a bit of fat. Cut with some good, minerally acids though. A little funky, in a good way. For < 20 bones, an excellent QPR.

2013 vintage

Drinking well for price and age. Good balance of fruit and acid, length on finish. Not much butterscotch or oak at this stage but a few years collaring should change that.

2013 vintage

Nuts, citrus, stone fruit. Pineapple if you let it warm too much... though if that's a good thing for you, I guess you wouldn't think that you had let it warm too much. Big, or round, or something like that. Not quite in harmony, maybe it’ll get there given more time in bottle. Impressive length gets this over the line to 90. Usually these Hoddles chardonnays drink well young, but they're even better with a few years sleep.... I'll revisit …

2013 vintage

Generic spicy oak and lime nose. Intense nectarine, lime rind and nutmeg flavours. A bit round. Lacking acid? Oak well integrated on palate. Maybe I need to taste this in a vertical, but seems to lack the edge of the other recent (remarkable) vintages. 91-92?

2013 vintage

Complex beautiful chardonnay. Struck match, white nectarine, citrus (grapefruit maybe?), gentle integrated acid and length. Great stuff Franco.

2009 vintage

Light gold in color. Low rim variation. Medium legs. Baker's Yeast, Dust,& Fur on the nose. light oak and apple, with a hint of rose on the pallet.Medium bodied. Angular texture. Short finish. Not great... :(

2011 vintage

A nice, pleasant wine. Well rounded.

2011 vintage

Fruktig, lav syre, fin balanse

2011 vintage

Mild, smooth, not oaky. I drank it with skittles and chicken Alfredo.

2011 vintage

Please not I carbonated this with a soda stream 8 squirts ( might get by with 6 and did not use large sounds recommended by sodastream just regular squirts of carbonation) and be very carefull opening ( must use their plastic bottle and fill their bottle to the line on it . Open very very slowly from the Sodastream Basically making a champagne like carbonated chardonay from a cheap Chardonnay Sodastream probably does not recommend doing this works fine for …

2011 vintage

Clean and shiny medium intensity lemon yellow. Medium intensity nose, ripe pineapple and peach, honey and french beans. Off-dry, medium acidity and body, medium-low amplitude. Medium-short aftertaste of medium intensity.

2011 vintage

Light straw colour. A little funk on the nose, cashews and nuts. Intensely flavoured, well balanced and improved with each glass. Nice line of citrus through the palate and builds to more explosive and expansive nutty, spicy flavours towards the finish. Long and intense finish. Really good value and wish I had bought more.

2009 vintage

The wine is yellow and gold with medium legs. It smells like Peach, and lemon and It tastes of melon and peaches with some oak. The body is light with a silky texture. it finishes with a medium amount of fruit remaining

2011 vintage

Pretty complete for a value priced Chardonnay. Has that creamy rich mouth feel typical of Chardonnay. Rich golden color. Spicy nutmeg nose with lemon zest. Moderately fruity with spiced apple. white pear, nectarine, and lemon across the palate. Has some non fruit secondary flavors on the spicy side like ginger, nut meg, and cashew. Some influence from seasoned oak. Some almost raw Granny Smith Apple acidity. There is a little disappointing bitterness on the finish that affects the score.

2011 vintage

Ripe and fruity. Peach, lemon. Full body.

2011 vintage

Dry on the palate showing discreet pine apple and slightly oak with creamy notes. An easy and harmless quaffer.

2011 vintage

An adequate table wine. Pairs well with sharp cheddar cheeses as well as apple tarts.

2011 vintage

Light yellow in colour with honeyed peach on the nose, the palate is steeped in melon and fig fruit that benefits from vibrant acidity and butterscotch flavours, the wine does lack some drive and length on the finish. Review Link - www.winereviewer.com.au (drink from 2012-2014)

2008 vintage

A very fresh stone fruit nose with an interesting funky note that is complemented by some delicate citrus notes. The palette has plenty of mineral elements and some delicate acidity with plenty of big citrus fruits. Great value.

2009 vintage

Beautiful melons and nectarines on the nose with a delicate streak of oak cutting through the middle. The palette is a mineral explosion with great citrus acidity to back it up and soft and creamy fruits notes starting at the mid palette and going right through to the finish. Very well rounded and balanced.

2009 vintage

Very light in colour. Lots of oak on the nose - was expecting stone fruit, but to me seemed like cashews, with a spicy oak element. Nice weight, zingy, oak but well balanced, some pineapple, long spicy finish.

2009 vintage

The colour has a lovely mid green hue to go with the light straw colour. The first thing that hits you on the nose is the stone fruit. Plenty of nectarine, white peach and some melon. Then comes the complexity. It has a wonderful creamy elegance to the nose, as well as some sliced almonds and vanilla. It also has an interesting slatines in the background. The palate is like a velvet sledgehammer. Soft but powerful. Soft and restrained oak …
