Ashbrook Estate Chardonnay 2018

"This fastidious producer of consistently excellent estate-grown table wines shuns publicity and is less well known than is deserved, selling much of its wine through the cellar door and to a loyal mailing list clientele." James Halliday

"Five blocks harvested progressively to maximise individual flavour profiles. 50% fermented in new French barriques, 50% in stainless steel. No mlf. Very much in the 'house style', with its generosity of flavour and freshness. The oak provides aromas of grilled nuts and vanilla, the fruit characters in the ripe stone fruit and citrus spectrum." 93pts - Steven Creber - Wine Companion
