Halliday Wine Companion – Serengale Vineyard Chardonnay 2022

Reviewed by Jeni Port, published 17 February 2025

Score: 95/100 (Gold)

Chardonnay is undoubtedly Beechworth’s greatest strength. Serengale is a consistent producer of some of the region’s best, with its mixture of precision and poise. There is both brightness and depth of fruit that is impressive here as summer stone fruits, grapefruit and lemon zest arrive layered with toasted nuts and almond meal, all lightly spiced. Creamy in texture, it also possesses a driving brisk acidity which carries long. An open, confident, youthful chardonnay with ageing potential.
