96 points - "The 2025 Camp Hill Chardonnay leads with a nose quite distinct from the other Chardonnay cuvées tasted here today. Where they lead with notes of nuts, white peach and even herbal notes, this Camp Hill Chardonnay is soft, floral, perfumed, pretty and nutty. In the mouth, this all shows to be true, with bright acidity that tracks a linear path across the palate and soft chalky length through the long finish. This is a graceful wine, sleek and composed. 14% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

According to Patrick Sullivan Wines: Camp Hill is a single-site vineyard planted in 1998 at 250 meters in elevation on rocky red volcanic soils, considered the highest point between the Strzelecki and Great Dividing Ranges. The vineyard faces north with almost 360-degree views of the Baw Baw Shire (eastern Victoria, south of the Yarra Ranges National Park, and southwest of the Alpine National Park), with total plantings to Chardonnay being approximately half a hectare. The elevated position and volcanic soils encourage deep root penetration, while good air circulation from the exposed site contributes to natural disease pressure management and the concentrated fruit character that defines wines from this distinctive vineyard. The fruit was hand-harvested into 15-kilogram baskets and transferred to the winery, then whole-cluster crushed into the press and drained off into tank for settling. Primary fermentation took place in barrique (30% new) over three weeks, followed by complete malolactic fermentation. Lees stirring occurred weekly until the completion of malolactic fermentation. The wine was then aged in barrique for 10 months." - Erin Larkin (The Wine Advocate)

96 points - "Medium-full yellow; rather quiet and reserved on the nose at first, likewise in the mouth, where it is firm and tense with a little astringency from acidity and tannin, almost a hardness; the overall feel is that it is locked up and needs more time to emerge fully. There is a quiet intensity, struggling to get out of its shell. It has serious concentration and a sense of more to come. This really blossomed with time exposed to air, revealing itself as a most complete and seamless chardonnay. It deserves a good aeration if drinking now." - Huon Hooke (The Real Review)

WINEMAKING: The fruit was hand harvested into
15kg baskets and transferred to the winery,
then whole-cluster crushed into the press and
drained off into tank for settling. Primary
fermentation took place in barrique (30% new)
over three weeks followed by complete
malolactic fermentation. Lees stirring
occurred weekly until the completion
of malolactic fermentation. The wine was then
aged in barrique for ten months.
NOSE: White peach, ripe nectarine, lemon
zest, subtle toasted hazelnut.
PALATE: Powerful yet poised, bright acidity
and textural weight giving energy and line.
A mineral edge adds definition through the
mid-palate, the finish long and precise.
