Murdoch Hill Chardonnay 2018

Grace Kim — Really nice summer white

8/10

Picked this up after the guy at my local wine shop recommended it. Really lovely — got that pear and citrus thing going on and it's not heavy at all despite being a chardonnay. Went through the bottle way too fast with some grilled fish on a Friday night. At £28 it's not cheap but I'd buy it again for sure.

Kai Oliveira — Expected more for the price

6/10

Bought this for a dinner party based on the label and the fact I like Adelaide Hills wines. It's fine — clean, light, lemony — but a bit understated for £28. My mate brought a £15 white burgundy that honestly stole the show. Not bad, just not where I'd spend my money again.

Lena Petrova — Low alcohol chardonnay done right

8/10

I've been trying to drink lower alcohol wines lately and this one at 12% is a winner. None of that flabby overripe stuff — it's actually got proper structure and a lovely stone fruit flavour. The finish goes on for ages too. Had it with a roast chicken and it was perfect.
