“This has bunch and weight in equal measure. Fuller-bodied with stone fruit, lemony tones; creamy and very moreish thanks to its restrained nutty/leesy flavours. There’s complexity and a vibrancy to the acidity as it glides effortlessly to its long finish.”
95 points, James Halliday
Wine Companion
“I adore the energy and the purity in this wine. Fruit is the hero in this wine with faint white peach and lemon flavours. Oak sits nicely in the background, providing gentle support but not crowding the fruit in any way. I love the way the acidity heightens and lengthens the flavour. Most of all, there is room to grow and evolve with time. Delicious.”

The Real Review
“This intense and very vibrant chardonnay has a tightly layered and focused feel with aromas of lemons, pears and white peaches, leading to a composed and compact palate that has terrific concentration of flavour. So pure.”

Our truly cool climate ensures an sublime, yet complex expression of Chardonnay that speaks with purity of time and place.
Bouquet
An aromatic nose of white stone fruit infused with fragrant lime blossom and fennel along with hints of struck match and wheatmeal which provide further complexity.
Palate
Nectarine, white peach, and pear merge with grapefruit citrus, all lining up to be embraced by the cool charge of acidity. Subtle French oak and creamy lees provide both a savoury and textural frame for luxurious length. In unison, these elements form a palate of great vitality while maintaining tension and focus.
