This wine is crystal clear with a golden-green tint to it. The nose is full of minerality, peach, and citrus, but there is a slightly funky herbal edge to the aroma package. It’s a good thing, though. Notable by its absence is a floral component. The palate is a complete joy. The acidity is there, but it’s not razor sharp. The flavors center on lemon and lime citrus, with a savory streak running through it. The mouthfeel is soft and round despite the nice level of acidity. — 15 days ago

Honeymoon wine! Lush and robust, nose a little funky, but the taste is phenomenal! Dark berries, kirsch, lomey soil, dried herbs, and smoky! Fantastico! — 9 months ago

Beechworth is in the foothills of the Victorian Alps and is fast becoming one of the premier districts for Chardonnay in Australia thanks to the burgeoning success of Giaconda (and also Savaterre). The Rodda Smiths Vineyard is a neighbour to these 2 Icons. Aromatics of grapefruit, white flowers and grilled nuts. On the medium bodied palate Peach, citrus and ripe grapefruit of medium plus intensity. Ticks all the boxes. 2021 was an excellent vintage in Beechworth as it was for most of Australia. Excellent wine and good value. — 6 months ago
