Bradley Hutton Wildberry Chardonnay 2025
$120, 12.5% alcohol, screwcap, Margaret River.
This is tight and flinty and young, but the quality is superb. Just don’t touch it for another two to three years. It’s straw-yellow in colour, driven by nectarine, apple, white peach and cedar flavour, and then juicy, steely and long through the finish. There’s a fair serving of struck match on the nose too, though perhaps not as much as previous vintages. In fact this release feels stricter and more controlled in general, in a positive way. It will be glorious in time.
95 points – Campbell Mattinson.
