2023 Murdoch Hill Rocket Chardonnay is one of the flagship expressions of Adelaide Hills Chardonnay, sourced from the high-elevation Lenswood vineyard. The nose reveals layers of white peach, citrus zest and melon, complemented by flinty reduction, grilled hazelnut and subtle oak spice. On the palate, vibrant acidity drives a focused core of lemon, green apple and grapefruit pith, balanced by creamy texture from full malolactic fermentation and barrel maturation. Powerful yet precise, this is a benchmark cool-climate Australian Chardonnay with impressive tension, purity and ageing potential.
