Brookland Valley
Estate Chardonnay
Margaret River, South West Australia, Western Australia, Australia
See previous notes. Put simply this is a stunning Chardonnay as its Show Record will attest, with at least 5 Trophies including Best Wine in Show at the Royal Hobart International Wine Show. A good combination of citrus and stone fruit with leesy complexity and incredible length of flavour. Demonstrates once again how great Margaret River is for Chardonnay. I’m glad I have 3 bottles left. A huge bargain at $30 per bottle. Tasted again on 6th November 2021, 28 weeks later. Nothing to add. Just a killer Chardonnay which has won 5 Trophies and cost $30. QPR does not get much better than this. 96 points. Tasted final bottle on 16th June 2022 with consistent notes. Oak has fully integrated into the fruit. Should seek out more at this price. Hopefully they have kept up the standard with later vintages.

Aug 18th, 2020Pale to mid Lemon in colour. Aromas of lovely citrus which translates to the powerful palate with incredible length. Oak in balance with the fruit. A multiple Trophy winner on the Australian Show circuit including Best White of Show as well as its varietal trophy st the Margaret River wine show and also Best Wine in Show at the Royal Hobart International Wine Show. Whole bunch pressed, barrel fermented and matured on lees in French Oak for 9 months. Drinking beautifully at 5 years and will continue at this level for another 2 to 3 years. Very impressive.
