Reviews The Vintage Journal - SA Wine Guide 2025_ 93 ptsAngus HughsonA single vineyard located at high altitude in the Eden Valley provides the fruit for this ever-so-impressive Chardonnay. Barrel fermentation with around a quarter of the oak French new. The wine underwent lees stirring for six months. A gleaming goldgreen hue the barrel ferment notes emerge on the nose with a lovely nutty cashew touch and a whiff of vanilla all elegantly integrated. Stone fruits and peaches with hints of figs and citrus and a minerally backing are all evident. This is poised and intense balanced and long in the finish. A rich and most attractive Chardonnay with hints of apple on the palate it should drink beautifully for at least the next four to six years.
Bottle Volume 750 ML
Tasting Notes
Delightful persistent nose of fine Chardonnay orchard fruit with supporting spice and cashew oak influences.A powerful and rich palate of fresh cashews ripe green pears a drizzle of cream and dusting of clove spice. A full and powerful palate combines spicy green orchard fruits with mealy creamy nuances from the lees stirring and oak adding complexity and length. The finish is soft shapely clean and very long.
Winemakers Notes
The Chardonnay for this wine was sourced from a cool high spot of the Batten Vineyard in Eden Valley. Harvested in the cool of the night and crushed and pressed in the early morning the free run juice was then run with minimal settling into barrels for a 100 barrel ferment. On completion the wine was left on lees and lees stirred on a barrel by barrel basis for 3-6 months. Malolactic fermentation was blocked.
Food Pairings
Richly flavoured white meat dishes as well as dishes with high umami content such as coq au vin blanc lobster mornay.

J Mason
Just a quick note to say I am so glad I found Australia Tasting Room! Since leaving Australia, I have missed some of my favorite wines. I researched other freight companies, but none offered the personal touch service of Australia Tasting Room. You have a great selection from the best vineyards. You added others upon request, and also gave great recommendations when asked. And customer service does not stop with the purchase— The team keep me updated on the shipment every step of the way! I cannot imagine a better service from people who know wine and love to share that knowledge. You have a customer for life! Cheers, J Mason

The wine was delivered by GSO Courier early this am and was in perfect shipping condition. The bottle temperature was cool to the touch which is amazing given we have been hitting 37C every day for the last week here in our California summer.
Well done!
I have put the wine into our temperature controlled bottle storage to let them rest for a week (mostly for the 3 bottles of red). I did put one of the Rosés in the frig which we will try tomorrow because we are out to dinner tonight with friends.
Your Rose of Virginia is my favorite rosé, above French and Californians that we have consumed with Tablas Creek “Dianthus” from near Paso Robles being a second.
Now that we have experienced a shipment from you, I am sure we will order a couple of cases more but will wait until weather is cooler for us and the wine.
Again thanks for an excellent wine and the good service.
Cheers,
Richard A.

The wine arrived last week in good shape - nothing broken or leaked. Your packing design is impressive. Laying it down for a couple of months to settle in. Looking forward to enjoying it. Thanks very much

Australia Tasting Room is a very fine company, with professional direction and management. I appreciate the friendly service, and all your efforts above and beyond to make all deliveries happen. Most impressive were the instant answers and responses any time I had a question. All during a pandemic! Pretty amazing when you think about it.
Highest regards,
Judy M
P.S. One Contact, One Process, and One Delivery - customers and wine treated equally and expertly, with care. You really can’t beat that! Great job.

Hi,
Glad to hear my last case from our trip is on its way!
Your service has been very helpful in getting my wine shipped safely to me. All previous four cases arrived safely.
Now I need to order my “wine needs” via internet and use your services again.
Best regards,
George

Amazing professionalism and kind assistance from Australia Tasting Room!
I was experiencing confusion with a wine order from a winery in Australia and Australia Tasting Room actually intervened to help clarify things. And not just with a simple email, but with a phone call!! We spoke directly and sorted out the details. It was a wonderful reminder that chivalry and quality customer service still exists!! We will use them in a heartbeat!!

Our twelve pack of Tasmanian treats arrived yesterday afternoon without a scratch on them! Now we get to enjoy drinking them with family and friends. Hopefully we can toast some excellent defensive draft picks by the Packers soon!
Thanks for an excellent experience with Australia Tasting Room!
If you ever find yourself in Wisconsin, let us know. We're only an hour away from Lambeau.

I received all of the wines. That was certainly quicker than I expected. I appreciate everything that you and Cape Mentelle did to make it easy ship all of the wines to us.

Thank you again for your expedited attention to our order and its shipping. The wine has arrived in wonderful condition, and we shared a bottle with one of our friends on Friday who enjoyed it as much as we did.
We will continue to watch for its availability in our area, and we wish you continued success.
Best regards,
Jerry K.
