Kooyong Estate Chardonnay 2022
$50, 13.0% alcohol, screw cap, Mornington Peninsula.

Fifty AU dollars is hardly cheap for a bottle of wine but all things considered this wine is a pretty attractive proposition. In the glass it’s a lovely, complex, generous wine and it’s also – not that you can drink such things – a wine with a pretty impressive pedigree. For the past 20+ years this has been a super reliable wine, and never short on flavour. This 2022 release smells of popcorn and nougat but then tastes of juicy pear, peach and bacon fat. It’s a powerful wine, in a mouthwatering style. Its quality is clear. 94 points.

When you pick up a wine book and see thousands of top-scoring wines, it’s hard to know which wine to choose. Mattinson guides you through this maze, giving you an honest view of the best Australian wines, the best wine stories, the best wine producers, the best value wines and simply, the best tasting wines. Importantly, Mattinson will tell you about the top-rated wines and also about the underrated wines. In short, Mattinson knows Australian wines inside and out.

Mattinson has been a photo-journalist since 1987. For the past 25 years he’s been a voice that you can trust when you’re looking for the best wines. He’s the only Australian to have won the Australian Wine Communicator of the Year Award more than once. He’s a past winner of a Louis Roederer International Wine Media Award, and is the author of the award-winning book The Wine Hunter. He’s not afraid to put a score beside a wine. But what he’d rather do, is tell you the wine’s story.
