Lovely complexity. Mouth-filling, fine and focused on the palate. There’s a driving, piercing line of acidity along with flavours of just-ripe white stone fruit, grilled nuts and citrus. Great length, texture and poise. 95pts.\" - \u003cem\u003eAaron Brasher, The Real Review\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGold Medal, Canberra and Region Wine Show, 2024\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePraise for past vintages of the Tiger Tiger Chardonnay: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTrophy - Best Chardonnay, 2021 and 2023 Canberra and Region Wine Show. 96 points, Halliday Wine Companion.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Hand-picked, whole-bunch pressed, wild fermented and matured in French oak (30% new) for 11 months.  An exceptional wine, harmonious and simple.  White peach, pear and grapefruit all have something to say on the perfectly balanced and very long palate.  The '16 and '17 are equally outstanding.  - 97 points.\"\u003cem\u003e - James Halliday, The Weekend Australian\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Light, bright yellow colour, with a gently smoky reductive bouquet, a hint of Parmesan cheese (attractive). It's a more complex style within the Tumbarumba paradigm. Good fruit concentration and depth, a lingering aftertaste and the flavour has detail and dimension.
