Orlando Lyndale Chardonnay

This is a wine that’s just made international headlines and recognised as one of the “50 Best Wines in the World” at the world’s largest and most influential wine show, The 2022 Decanter World Wine Awards in London!

It’s won 97/100 and a Best In Show Award at the DWWA which is an absolutely incredible achievement! Winning Best In Show at the DWWA is no easy road that’s for sure. After joining over 18,000 other wines they are then awarded Gold, Silver or Bronze –  the rest are shown the door! Then the best of the best go toe-to-toe to determine the Platinum award winners. THEN, the Platinum award winners go to head-to-head to discover the overall Best In Show winners, the top 50 wines from the entire competition.

Or let’s put it another way – top 50 from over 18,000 is just 0.002% of all wines entered got a Best In Show Award!

The judges at the DWWA 2022 were clearly blown away with this one – “You’ll have no trouble telling our two Antipodean Chardonnay wines in the Best in Show selection apart (Ed- They’re talking about Church Road Grand Reserve Chardonnay 2020) – packed with aromatic floral lime, underscored by a swirl of cream from barrel-fermentation. It’s vivid and fresh without being skinny, lean or over-taut — clearly a Chardonnay at ease with its cool climate”

They are one of the true legends of the story of wine in Aussie and although they’ve been a bit quieter in recent times it’s fair to say the legends of Orlando are back!

With a history dating back to 1874 and winner of over 1,000 top end awards since the 1980s these legendary wine labels have been given a new lease of life and we’re stoked to see them back on our shelves! We’re talking about legends like Centenary Hill Shiraz, Lawsons Padthaway Shiraz, Jacaranda Coonawarra Cabernet, Steingarten Eden Valley Riesling and this absolutely stunning, multi award winning cool climate Lyndale Chardonnay from the Adelaide Hills.
