More information on wine critics and ratings

Intense, pristine and concentrated. Aromas of citrus blossom, white peach, brioche, gun smoke and marzipan create wonderful depth.

Flavors continue on the palate including lime zest, jasmine and honeydew melon. Wonderfully intense, the fruit blends seamlessly with subtle smoky oak and yeasty complexity to create a textural and vibrant mouthfeel.

The juicy acidity balances the profound intensity of the fruit providing great carry and length.

James Suckling (JS) : 93 Points (2017)
A complex, layered white with cooked-apple, lemon and pear character. Full body. Dense and flavorful. Tangy, citrusy and thoroughly delicious. Drink or hold.

Decanter (DCT) : 96 Points (2016)
Incredibly refined, powerful and sumptuously smooth. Notes of nectarine, almond, custard combined with apple, oyster shell, smoke and a touch of butterscotch. A rounded and stunningly lingering finish.

Wine Enthusiast (WE) : 93 Points (2016)
Entirely barrel fermented, this white is beautifully aromatic in pear, toasted oak and hazelnut. High toned, floral and earthy, it shows deft balance in the glass, offering elegance and impressive complexity that lasts gingerly on the finish.

Wines & Spirits (W&S) : 93 Points (2016)
This vintage is the first at Newton for Alberto Bianchi, who had made wine at other Moët Hennessy properties in Margaret River, Marlborough and Mendoza after starting out in Italy. He focused this chardonnay on fruit from Carneros, with a contribution from Rutherford; it fermented spontaneously in French oak barrels (24 percent new) where it aged as well. It’s refreshing, firm and juicy, a sleek chardonnay that feels carefully crafted. Time in oak adds a salted caramel note to the brisk and earthy finish.

Robert Parker (RP) : 93 Points (2014)
Newton’s unfiltered Chardonnay has been a consistent winner since it was first launched in the early 1980s, when the fruit was coming from what is today John Kongsgaard’s Judge cuvée. Newton is still making this wine unfiltered, and the 2014 Chardonnay Unfiltered is rich and displays beautiful white peach, honeysuckle and tropical fruit, some nice, crisp wet pebble minerality in the background and a full-bodied mouthfeel. Deep, layered and complete, this is a big-time winner.

Wine Spectator (WS) : 91 Points (2014)
Framed by rich, buttery oak that supports a mix of apple, melon, spice and apricot flavors, this turns elegant and refined on the aftertaste. Drink now through 2020. 13,653 cases made.

"Henschke’s 2010 Hill of Grace has got more 99 points than any other Australian wine: eight, from wine writers around the world tasting it blind. It’s seems a statistical impossibility!" Andrew Caillard MW, Decanter, March 2016

The Prisoner Wine Co Chardonnay 2019
A new wine comes from the creators of one of the iconic "blends" from Napa Valley. This Chardonnay will appeal especially to lovers of powerful character wines. Aroma of ripe yellow apples, créme brulee and vanilla. The palate is full and layered, with traces of ripe pineapple and a toasted barrel with a strong acidity.

Matetic Corralillo Carmenere 2021
Deep violet color with red hues. Very intense on the nose, where notes of black fruits, chocolate and spices combine. In the mouth it offers a good balance between power and freshness, great volume and with an intense, long aftertaste.
