Tony Bish Heartwood Chardonnay 2022
Reviews
Sam Kim, Wine Orbit: 96/100. Exhibiting complexity with restraint and poise, the wine shows white flesh stone fruit, lemon peel, vanilla and savoury pastry nuances on the nose. The palate is brilliantly focused and concentrated with refined texture backed by bright acidity, finishing persistent and engaging. Gorgeously harmonious and proportioned, promising to evolve graciously. At its best: 2024 to 2034.
Cameron Douglas MS: 95/100 & Top Wines Tasted 2023. Complex and enticing bouquet of fresh stone fruits and ripe citrus, there’s a layer of spice and cashew nut oak adding complexity and depth. As the wine opens out in glass aromas of crumbled stone and burnt butter, extended lees contact and some wild white floral and mineral combinations begin to emerge. Youthful, expressive textures, a moment of reduction with a flinty note, fruit and oak flavours mirror the bouquet framed by a structure of youth and power, concentration and style. A dry lengthy finish, taut and new, flavourful and classic Tony Bish style. Well made with best drinking from late 2024 through 2029+.
Michael Cooper: 5 stars. The delicious 2022 vintage (5*) was hand-picked and fermented and matured in French oak barriques (partly new). Bright, light yellow/green, it is mouthfilling, fleshy and savoury, with rich, ripe stonefruit flavours, well-integrated oak adding complexity, and a finely textured, lingering finish. A refined, strongly varietal wine, it should be at its best 2025+.
Tasting Note:
Lifted fragrant aromas of ripe citrus peel, roasted cashew nut, yellow peach and honeysuckle. The palate is rich with roasted nuts, red apple, peach, and zingy citrus freshness. Great depth and length on the palate.
