Description

A lightning strike of a cool-climate Chardonnay picking up rave reviews.

The 2022 Canobolas Chardonnay is a remarkable testament to the Mattick family's hard work and dedication to their historic vineyard in the region of Orange.

This has become one of the most decorated Chardonnays of the year with an incredible string of reviews from across the country. It's the equal-highest-rated wine in the Halliday Wine Companion for any wine from the Orange Region (ever!) and the equal-highest for any Chardonnay from NSW, putting it in a conversation with famous names like Tyrrell's, Lakes Folly etc.

Established in 1986 by the Smith family, the Canobolas vineyard's 36-year-old vines thrive on basalt-derived clay loam soils on the slopes of Mount Canobolas. With the Matticks' holistic approach and minimal intervention, this Chardonnay showcases its high-altitude origins. Hand-harvested grapes, chilled overnight and whole-bunch pressed, are crafted with care.

Review
Yellow grapefruit segments, blue riverstone and Blue-Tack. Lily of the Valley blooms, crushed limestone and white apple flesh. Dried brick mortar, honeysuckle and chamomile. Seductively aromatic and full of soil minerals, the wine is electric with pinpoint acidity. An oyster brine of salinity, droplets of finger lime and white pepper. Innate power and force behind this wine built from fruit and site. Oak elevates without distracting in any way. This is supersonic chardonnay.

Tasting Profile
nose

The nose is powerful, with depth, clarity and a certain vibrancy of flavour. Citrus fruits explode with triumphant fanfare and are complemented by a beautiful rush of jasmine and gardenia aromas.

palate

On the palate the wine is palatial and expands into the distance for what seems an eternity. The delicate oak combines with a pristine core of fruit, elements of white nectarine, grapefruit and lemon all layered under a crystalline halo of delicate floral notes. It has both power and elegance. This is a beautifully balanced wine that finishes with a long flinty, saline edge.
