Winery notes (2021 Vintage)
"The 2021 McManis Family Vineyards Chardonnay is light golden straw in colour. Bright fruit aromas of Pear, Melon and Peach are accompanied by a bouquet of Vanilla, Hazelnut, and a hint of buttered popcorn. As with previous vintages, the wine is rich, creamy and full of sweet Pear, Banana and toasty oak flavours. Rich and decadent, our Chardonnay can be enjoyed on its own or with a delicious meal."
Rated Excellent & 93/100 Cameron Douglas MS, September 2023 (2021 Vintage)
"A classic bouquet in many ways with scents of oak and tropical fruits of banana and mango then toasty wood with vanilla and roasted nut. Full-bodied, creamy and relatively high impact with flavours of baked apple and custard, vanilla-cream and peach. The oak is well-played, quite inense yet works well alongside the core fruit flavours with its own sweetness and sweetness of alcohol. Well made and ready to drink form day of purchase through 2029."
5 Stars & 93/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, October 2023 (2021 Vintage)
"Richly fruited and gorgeously aromatic, the bouquet shows golden peach, pineapple, French vanilla and cedar characters, followed by a wonderfully flavoursome palate delivering terrific weight and generously textured mouthfeel, leading to a lengthy satisfying finish. At its best: now to 2026."
