These Wickhams Road wines are made by the team behind Hoddles Creek - which is why they are so well made, and such great value. Winemaker Franco D'Anna is a chardonnay master. This one tastes of peach and nectarine and lemons. It's fresh, aromatic, bursts with flavour and has lots of juicy acid tang. Cedary characters play a minor role in the background. This is a great value - and quality- example of the new world of Australian chardonnay. Drink: 2008-2011. 91 points. Campbell Mattinson, The Winefront
Refined and subtle it offers up melon and citrus scented fruits, a touch of flint, a little spice and dusty old oak. On the palate medium bodied with flavours of grapefruit, melon and spice. It has excellent fruit purity and gentle clean acidity that gives the wine an attractive softness, and while slightly blurred, it’s tight enough and has fine balance, freshness and drinkability.
