Description

This is another stellar vintage of the Grosset Piccadilly chardonnay. At present, there are some cedary, cashewy notes that will become less overt over the next twelve months and allow the stone fruit flavours – white peach and honeydew melon – to shine even more brightly. This chardonnay is powerful, intense, multi-layered and yet has underlying restraint. Crisp and vibrant to finish.

Jeffrey Grosset's renowned mastery extends beyond his sublime and iconic Rieslings, casting a brilliant spotlight on his often-overlooked gem, the Piccadilly Chardonnay. Hailing from the enchanting Adelaide Hills, this Chardonnay unveils a luscious tapestry of stone fruits and citrus, artfully woven with traces of minerality that culminate in a resplendent, enduring finish. It is, in a word, superb!

Review

Pale quartz-green. Grosset's oenological mastery comes down to three words: purity, balance and length. The late wine writer Tony Keys' approach was, 'When I taste a wine from a well-regarded winery I start with the maximum score (of 10) and deduct 0.1 for each fault.' He would have given this wine the maximum. I'm almost there.

Tasting Profile

Nose
Starts with an intriguing nose, showing honeydew melon, wildflowers and a hint of herbaceousness. It also has beautifully handled oak.
Palate
Honeydew melon, grapefruit, white peach. The palate is full and round, yet has a tight structure and fresh acidity to finish. The wine's ready, but it will develop further.
