West Coast Chardonnay Odyssey

98 The Wine Illuminati

Sourced from a section of own-rooted vines, the 2024 Fiddlestix Vineyard Chardonnay
immediately impresses with bright aromas of lemon zest, oyster shell, and sea salt. The
palate is complex and textured, revealing layered notes of key lime pie, subtle oak, and a
creamy lees influence. The finish lingers with a saline-driven wash of acidity.

Lithe, full, and gracefully layered, the wine moves with subtle richness sharpened by vibrant acidity. Aromatics of bright stone fruit, key lime crème, and lemon oil intertwine with savory threads of wet minerals, yellow spices, and mixed florals. It’s a harmonious interplay of brightness and depth, revealing a Chardonnay of both delicacy and quiet power.

97 Decanter 

The 2024 vintage is juicy and bright, with vibrant acidity and beautifully defined orchard and citrus fruit layered with a subtle kiss of vanilla and ripe pineapple. Lip-smacking tension and a gorgeous saline edge bring energy and focus, while savoury pressed white floral notes add complexity. Vivid, expressive, and mouthwatering, this wine practically calls for a meal - its saline character makes it irresistibly food-friendly.
