Even for the sparsely populated Gippsland region (in terms of wineries) Narkoojee remains a little under the radar. It was, initially, some very good efforts with Chardonnay that build a reputation but in recent years Pinot Noir and Merlot have flown the flag. Mind you, the Chardonnay remains one of the region's best. The wines are very consistent but it probably helps that Narkoojee is locted on the western border of East Gippsland & thus is typically a recipient of warmer weather.
"While there’s a lot of obvious winemaking at play, the fruit here is very good. Yellow peach, chargrilled pineapple and a squirt of Meyer lemon freshened up by fine acidity. Full bodied thanks to cedary/vanilla oak and creamy lees, but it all comes together well." 93pts | Jane Faulkner | Halliday Wine Companion
"Vibrant straw yellow, a bouquet of grilled peach and roasting hazelnuts. Full and weighty with very sweet stone fruits filling the palate. Ample concentration and as it rolls along notes of honeyed toast and butterscotch shine through. Acidity is a little hidden so the finish, whilst long lacks some tension. Will suit those looking for a richer, buttery style." 89pts | Stuart Knox | The Real Review
