It feels like nitpicking to have this a rung down from its brother. They’re both very good wines. Fine and filigreed, this is all whipped butter and funk. Nice balance of flavour, if tending towards that no malo leanness mode. The epitome of a clear, modern, lightly creamy Chardonnay. Best drinking: I’d wait until next year and then drink for plenty of years (six plus). ...

From the Seville township in the Yarra Valley, Matt Burton and Dylan McMahon suggest this D'Aloisio site is slightly more expressive and forward. In the glass, the scent of struck match goes hard. Golden straw in appearance, burnt caramel and burnt butter mingle with creamy vanilla oak and fine ginger spice. A fraction richer than its Georges Vineyard sibling, it takes a little time to unfurl before filling the mouth with fleshy white nectarines and yellow peach. Dried pineapple can be seen on day two of tasting. An attractive textural feel lingers well into the night - a wine that certainly grew on me. Drink now to eight years.
