Reviews

Review Tony Bish Heartwood Chardonnay 2020” width=Bob Campbell, MW: 95/100. Barrel-fermented in three-year-old French oak barriques. Concentrated chardonnay with peach, citrus, root ginger and spicy oak flavours supported by racy acidity. Delicious, mouth-watering wine with an impeccable balance of fruit-and-alcohol sweetness and acidity. A classy chardonnay from a top vintage.

 

Review Tony Bish Heartwood Chardonnay 2020Cameron Douglas MS: 95/100. From a stellar vintage brings a bouquet of complexity and core of pure fruit, layers of wood spice and mineral, citrus and yellow orchard fruits, sophisticated yet still quite youthful. On the palate - a silky texture gives way to flavours of citrus, apple and yellow orchard fruits of peach and apricot then wood spices of oak, baking spice and tension of fine wood tannins. Plenty of acidity keeps the palate fresh leading to a detailed, youthful and lengthy finish. A lovely wine, well made , enjoyable today, but even better from 2022 through 2026.

 

Review Tony Bish Heartwood Chardonnay 2020Sam Kim, Wine Orbit: 95/100. Immensely complex and gorgeously elegant at the same time, showing nectarine, rockmelon, nougat and cedar aromas on the nose with hints of brioche and lemon peel. The impressively concentrated palate delivers outstanding depth and richly texture mouthfeel, brilliantly supported by perfectly integrated acidity. Engaging and hugely appealing. At its best: 2023 to 2033.
