Coulter C1 Chardonnay 2022
$34.00Jeremy’s score 94/100A stylish, flavoursome modern chardonnay whose emphasis on bright grapefruit, white peach and melon-like fruit is deftly backed with restrained oak and nutty, creamy, nougat-like yeast-derived influences. It’s long and focused but has a ripe core of fleshy flavour, extending with translucent brightness and intensity down a fine, slatey spine towards a crisp, focused and refreshing finish. Watch it build with time.

Coulter C2 Sangiovese 2022
$34.00Jeremy’s score 91/100Earthy, faintly mineral aromas of dark plums, dark cherries, cedar/dark chocolate oak and gravelly undertones reveal suggestions of meatiness and licorice. It’s medium to fullish in body, with a juicy, fiery core of bright, faintly confectionary dark cherry, plum and berry flavours underpinned by fine, grippy tannins. True to variety, it finishes with some savoury, meaty aspects and a distinctive acidity.

Coulter C3 Pinot Noir 2022
$34.00Jeremy’s score 93/100An elegant, supple pinot of medium to fullish weight whose musky, floral fragrance of red cherries, redcurrants, blood plums and sweet cedar/vanilla oak reveals notes of paprika-like spice and chocolate. It’s long, gentle and evenly paced, with layers of bright fruit and oak knit with a faintly gravelly, mineral spine, finishing with freshness and balance. Pleasingly savoury; a little reminiscent stylewise of Tollot Beaut.

Coulter C3 Pinot Noir 2023
$34.00Jeremy’s score 90/100A bright, perfumed young pinot whose musky aromas of raspberries, cherries and rose petals reveal a hint of citrus oil and spice. It’s long and supple, with a village Beaujolais-like weight, with a juicy core of fruit supported by fine, powdery tannins and a hint of dusty oak, finishing with a vivacious acidity. Likely to build richness and depth of the next couple of years.

Coulter Rathmine SVY (Formerly C1) Chardonnay 2024
$37.00Jeremy’s score 93/100A distinct evolution in Chris Coulter’s chardonnay style, this fuller, rounder and creamier expression is based around ripe yellow peach, nectarine and lemon-like flavour tightly with toasty, vanilla and buttery oak influences. It’s scented with bright yellow flowers, lime and lemon, while its long and generous palate reveals nutty yeast-derived notes before finishing dry and tangy with a brisk, lemony acidity. Quite possibly the very chardonnay many flavour-deprived Australians are seeking, with a lingering core of ripe, buttery flavour.
