"It's a wine of powerful fruit, powerful oak and extreme length. My tasting note concludes with the words "this wine lays down the law in the most certain of terms." This wine won the Halliday Wine of the Year title and a more worthy winner you will not find." Incredible words from Campbell Mattinson on our 864 Funder & Diamond Chardonnay 2022, and the rise (and rise) of Australian Chardonnay. A read worthy of a few minutes of your time. Be warned though, it may lead to a few more bottles added to your cellar.

Oakridge 864 Funder & Diamond Drive Block Chardonnay 2022 has been named WINE OF THE YEAR in the prestigious Halliday Wine Awards! This recognition underscores the mastery of our team in crafting benchmark chardonnays under the guidance of longstanding chief winemaker, David Bicknell, described by Wine Companion Tasting Judge, Phillip Rich as “the godfather of modern Australian chardonnay” David Bicknell has been crafting our wines since 2002, and was typically humble in his acceptance of the award: “It’s the culmination of a generation’s work, involving a whole group of people. And we’ve got a team of amazing depth and talent. It’s important to recognise Steve, Georgie and the viticultural team and the work they’ve put in, because that gives us the ability in the winery to create something like this.” The Funder & Diamond vineyard, known for its mature vines planted in the red volcanic soils of Wandin East, consistently produces exceptional fruit. David describes the low-yielding Drive Block as “metronomic in what it does, regardless of the season.” The 2022 vintage he considers to be of particularly high calibre, calling it one of the best of the past decade. Despite facing challenges throughout the growing season, and extremely low yields, the wines produced were of exceptional quality and fruit purity. Chardonnay was a standout, with the harvest producing wines of remarkable natural acidity. “Very bright. Aromas of stone fruits and lemon verbena together with some struck match, oyster shells and a little gently toasted hazelnut. There’s a wonderful purity of fruit, too, on the superbly balanced, silken textured and tensile palate. At the risk of repeating myself, this is ‘grand cru’ quality Australian chardonnay but at a fraction of the price.” 98 points, Philip Rich — 2025 Halliday Wine Companion While the 864 Funder & Diamond Drive Block Chardonnay took center stage at this year’s awards, the winery’s overall performance in the 2025 Halliday Wine Companion ratings, released today, was equally outstanding. An impressive 19 out of the 20 wines submitted received scores of 95 points or higher. In addition to these accolades, Oakridge Wines was honoured with a Top Five Star Winery rating for the 17th consecutive year, underscoring its consistent commitment to quality and excellence. As we celebrate these remarkable achievements, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to our dedicated team, loyal customers, and esteemed partners for their continued support and contribution to our ongoing success. The 864 Funder & Diamond Drive Block Chardonnay 2022 will be released in very limited quantities on Monday, 2 September, as part of the annual 864 Vintage Release.
