I reckon Sorrenberg, Hoddles Creek 1er, and this wine, the
Oakridge 864, are currently my 3 favourite chardonnays.
This takes a day or so to open up at this stage, but once it
does it reveals a superb, exciting Yarra Valley Chardonnay. It’s fine boned, but
still has a beautiful lime intensity to the fruit. A dry, almost spritzy
undercarriage is balanced by a lovely touch of creaminess, subtle oak spice,
and an appealing cheesy note. It fairly bristles through the long finish. In another
couple of years, once it has built some more weight, it will drink beautifully.Rated:
