97 Points, Wine Pilot

The 2024 SRS Chardonnay shows lovely lifted fruit together with some delicate savoury notes from solids and wild ferment. Grapefruit, white peach and dried pear give way to barrel ferment and flinty complexities. Barrel fermented in 33% new French puncheons and then aged for 10 months.

Powerful fruit flavours and subtle sulphides derived from wild ferment contribute a delicious savoury character on the palate, giving the wine greater complexity and overall purity

After overnight cold storage the fruit was whole bunch pressed into French oak puncheons before undergoing full wild yeast fermentation. To achieve a portion with high grape solids we rotated the press after filling. The key to successful wild fermentation is the use of high turbidity juices, minimal sulphur dioxide, low potential alcohols, and juices with good nutrient content. The SRS Chardonnay was barrel fermented in 35% new French puncheons and then aged for 10 months. We decided not to employ MLF or lees stirring as the fruit power and texture were in great balance.

Vintage - 2024

SRS Wilyabrup Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
"Such a classy cabernet offering detail and definition as much as pure joy in the drinking. Expect a pitch-perfect blend of florals, exotic spices, including cardamon and turmeric, cooling mint, mulberries, blueberries and nori. It’s structured yet mid-weighted, the oak seamlessly integrated, with slinky tannins and fine acidity all in unison.”
Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion

SRS WALLCLIFFE CHARDONNAY 2023
"Very bright, light yellow colour with an engagingly complex bouquet of smoky matchstick reduction overlying grapefruit and lemon, toasted nuts and nougat, the intensity and range of complexities on the nose repeated in the mouth where the wine is stunningly intense and concentrated, flowing long and harmoniously to its incredibly long finish. A great chardonnay.”
Huon Hooke, The Real Review
