Better bubbles than champagne. Lingering apple/pear/stone fruit. Drink with Dolly, David, and Miley. — 2 years ago
A lively crisp Chardonnay fleshing out nicely at 7 years in a very good place. From the cool climate Beechworth area in the gravelly soils in the foothills of the Victorian Alps. Great balance - not too lean and not too Dolly Parton. Savaterre is a neighbour of Giaconda , one of Australia’s best Chardonnays. — 6 years ago
Fresh/crisp acidity, unoaked (thanks god!), silky tannin, balanced minerality and elegant body. — 7 years ago
Found this 2022 pleasing. Not trying to be a new world SB. Steely , bright, tart orchard fruits with hints of lime and quince. Wish the price was lower than $39. — 8 months ago
Mid Lemon in colour. Vanilla oak aromas - peachy and rich. On the palate yellow peach and cream with Medium plus intensity. This style was popular in Australia in the 80’s and 90’s - think Rosemount Roxburgh and coined the style as “Dolly Parton” for obvious reasons. For lovers of full bodied Chardonnay. I hadn’t had a Chardonnay like this for a while and it was enjoyable. Ripe fruit, a touch too much oak and a great viscous texture on the palate. One of the 1001 Wines. — 5 years ago

What a difference (almost) a year makes. Stunning nose. Super aromatics. Yowza. Smokey mountain Nebbiolo. Yum. Isn’t that a Dolly Parton song? Old books. Earth, leather, so so good, feral and savory. Wow. Really. 9.4 nose. Wow. Super sweet and refined palate with amazing purity and super velvety tannins. Showing so well now. So distinctive and unique. But also so well made like the world’s best wines. Brilliant. — 6 years ago
