Our 8th release, the 2024 Rocket Chardonnay, once again launches from the elevated slopes of Lenswood — a site that continues to define purity and tension in Chardonnay. The season delivered fruit of exceptional intensity and clarity, captured here in a wine that is both powerful and precise. Aromas of lemon pith, brown lime and white stone fruit are layered with subtle struck-flint complexity and a touch of nutty oak. The palate is driven and tightly coiled, with mineral acidity and a fine pithy edge carrying the fruit through a long, moreish finish. Full malolactic fermentation and 45% new oak bring texture and gravitas without weighing down its energy. A focused, linear Chardonnay with lift and length — a wine of momentum and quiet force.

The top shelf of Murdoch Hill Chardonnays, out of the estate’s Lenswood vineyard.
The winemaking is evident, house reductive characters to the fore, with a neat lift of quality, just sweet oak spice in the aromas. Seductive. Fruit is cooler sited and tight, with superb balancing of acidity and flavour, lemon squeezed over white stone fruits. Length and pleasure assured. Drink now–2036
