Hutton Reserve Chardonnay 2025
AU$100, 12.9% alcohol, screwcap, Margaret River.

This is tighter and more contained than previous releases but it will be stunner in time. It tastes of peach, citrus, custard powder, thyme and cedarwood, with whispers of nougat, cashew and flint rising up and then diving straight back into the heart of the wine. The length here is super, the texture spot on; it needs extra bottle time for the wine overall to settle and bloom, but the structure and flavour profile here are gorgeous.

95+ points – Campbell Mattinson.
