Barratt Uley Vineyard Chardonnay 2023 by Barratt Wines from the Piccadilly Valley in the Adelaide Hills is a finely tuned, single vineyard cool‑climate Chardonnay, all precision and purity with that lovely Hills tension in every sip – and it has been rewarded with 95 points from Sam Kim.

In the glass, Barratt Uley Vineyard Chardonnay 2023 shows white peach, nectarine and lemon zest alongside grapefruit pith, white florals and a gentle struck‑flint note, with subtle cashew and nougat from well‑judged French oak. The palate is light to medium‑bodied, tightly wound yet creamy through the mid‑palate, driven by bright acidity and a long, saline, mineral‑flecked finish.

This Barratt Uley Chardonnay is spot‑on with grilled scallops, pan‑fried white fish, roast chicken or a lemony prawn pasta, and it also shines with soft cheeses and simple roast veg. It is a brilliant option for Adelaide Hills Chardonnay lovers chasing an elegant, ageworthy, site‑driven expression that already carries serious critical acclaim.
