HEYTESBURY Chardonnay in the TOP 100 - Wine Enthusiast Magazine and Vinous
The celebrations continue as The 2022 HEYTESBURY Chardonnay has been featured in the prestigious Wine Enthusiast and Vinous publications Top 100 wine lists for 2024.
The 2022 HEYTESBURY Chardonnay has been honoured with the #10 spot in The Enthusiast 100: The Best Wines of 2024 by Wine Enthusiast magazine. This prestigious list was selected from over 23,000 international wines, tasted blind. The Top 100 highlights wines from 68 appellations across 36 regions worldwide.
"2022 was on the warm side and this bottling of one of Margaret River's top Chards offers less of the reductive struck match and roasted-nut aromas of past vintages. It instead displays pithy citrus and melon rind, oats and salty seashell aromas, with a slight metallic edge. Round and textured, but with lovely acidity throughout, the concentrated fruit, oak and malolactic influences are all in perfect harmony. This may not be the longest-lived Heytesbury, but it's a damn fine drop now."

The 2022 HEYTESBURY Chardonnay has also been named in the Top 100 Wines of 2024 in US publication, Vinous, selected from over 30,000 international wines tasted this year.
"Under the guidance of talented Chief Winemaker Virginia Willcock, the iconic Heytesbury Margaret River Chardonnay soars in the 2022 vintage with tightly coiled power and outstanding complexity. A beautiful energy, precision and underlying tension work in tandem with stunning intensity and savoury refinement to deliver a world-class Chardonnay experience."
