96 points - "The 2025 Woori Yallock Chardonnay hails from the superb Lusatia Park vineyard, and the wine exhibits all the nutty freshness and lacy acidity that we have come to expect from this (elevated) corner of the Yarra Valley. There are notes of cashews, green apple, white peach, freshly pressed linen and white flowers. This is a beautiful, mouthwatering, textural Chardonnay, as all the Patrick Sullivan Chardonnays are. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

According to Patrick Sullivan Wines: Located at Woori Yallock in the upper reaches of the Yarra Valley, the Lusatia Park vineyard sits on an excellent north-facing slope at an almost perfect altitude for this part of Victoria. The vineyard was planted in 1985 and is situated on the much-desired red basalt soils that contribute to the extraordinary length the wines provide. The fruit was hand-harvested 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)

94 points - "While there’s no shortage of pristine acidity encasing this, it’s a seemingly richer, riper style in terms of flavour, with white peach, clotted cream with buttered toast, oak spices and preserved limes. A wine of many layers and needs more time to reveal them." - Jane Faulkner (Halliday Wine Companion)

93 points - "Medium yellow colour; buttery croissant and gently toasty aromas, some dried fruit and subtle smoky traces also, the palate incisive and tense with a cut of acidity and phenolics that leaves a firm grip that adds length and a clean crisp finish. A leaner, racier wine than the Gippsland chardonnays and different in shape, needing more time." - Huon Hooke (The Real Review)

91 points - "Yellow fruit, oatmeal, spicy oak, aniseed, something a little salty. It has peachy flavour, quite creamy, spicy biscuit oak, some grapefruit flavour and acidity, a powdery feel to texture, puling saline on a finish of solid length. It sits a bit flat in the mouth, but it’s an interesting wine of character all the same." - Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)
