Oak aromas are more restrained and integrated in this Henk Vyd, fruit is a tad richer and deeper, but this also shows an excellent balancing acidity, rich fruit, long, lingering finish, I marginally prefer this to the Willowlake, but both are excellent Yarra Valley Chardonnays!!

Lovely nose of peach, Asian pear, green apple, lemon, hint of flint and roasted nuts. Quite viscous on the palate, richer than the ‘19 I can remember - or any other chards from the winery I’ve tasted. Excellent intensity and purity still with beautiful acidity.

Aug 23rd, 2024Compared to the 2021 Willowlake, this is a tad richer and less tart, so I prefer this marginally tonight, but both of these Oakridge Chardonnays are super clean and well made!!
