Wickhams Road, Chardonnay, Yea Valley, 2024
Like the Yarra, the Yea Valley in Victoria is high and cool. Winemaker Franco D'Anna says this is “made in exactly the same manner as the Estate range”, fermented in older barrels and with “a purity of fruit and a beautiful line of acid”. It’s certainly the freshest and brightest of his Chardonnays, with all natural acidity. Lime and melon accented. Linear Chardonnay with a racy edge. Now-2029

Gold. 95/100”, Philip Rich, James Halliday Wine Companion, 17th February 2025.
