Description

Punt Road has a knack for turning out Chardonnay that punches well above its weight, and the 2024 release is no exception. Sourced entirely from the estate’s Coldstream vineyards, it’s built on a mix of clones that bring both citrus drive and stone fruit depth.

The fruit was hand-picked, wild fermented in French oak (a small portion new) and left on lees to build texture. The style sits in that sweet spot between freshness and generosity — lemon and grapefruit up front, white peach in the middle, with subtle oak spice tucked neatly into the background. The palate is clean and layered, the acidity fine but persistent.

It’s a modern Yarra Chardonnay with all the detail you’d expect at a higher price point, yet it stays firmly in the “everyday” bracket. Just as happy alongside a roast chook as it is with nothing more than a big glass and good company.

90 points - "This is an enjoyable Yarra Valley Chardonnay with pear, apple and nectarine characters working towards cedar, chalk and pure peach. It’s neat, well composed and well pitched, with decent linger to the finish." - Campbell Mattinson (The Wine Front)

Apples, citrus fruits and a hint of minerality. Fresh and crisp, with a clean finish. Despite a cooler growing season, we had a mild summer with gradual fruit maturation resulting in complex and elegant flavours in our wine. We harvested from various blocks from the estate, choosing each block based on flavour characteristics and acids for a fresh, fruit-driven chardonnay. The wine was naturally fermented in French oak with regular lees stirring to build texture and complexity.
