Description

Exceptionally elegant and pure, the nose of the 2019 Hillcrest Road Chardonnay is all about fresh lemons and river stones with a fine, mineral, savoury top note. The palate is so fresh and cleansing with that pebble stone minerality and a delicate framework of racy acidity coming through. The wine is perfectly balanced yet also so vibrant and full of energy. This has a lovely, lipsmacking finish which leave the palate humming. Absolutely delicious now but could also be enjoyed until 2026.

Critics reviews

Jancis Robinson MW 15.5/20
Pale straw. Rather introverted and stinky – reduced? I'm rather amazed by the price. Is Circe a cult producer? So tight! Compare and contrast with the Joey Tensley Chardonnay. An example perhaps of how Australian Chardonnay is in danger of disappearing up its own fundament?Drink 2023 - 2026jancis_robinson_mw MW, JancisRobinson.com (September 2023)

This has some very attractive lemon, grapefruit and peach aromas with a flinty undertone, too. The palate has a taut, flavorful delivery of lemon, peach and grapefruit, with some vivid acidity pinning the finish into place.Drink or holdjames_suckling, jamessuckling_com (December 2020)
