“There are complex aromas of peach, melon and nectarine, with hints of vanilla and soft oak evident. On the palate there is white peach, honeydew melon flavours which are balanced and in harmony, soft oak nuances add to the overall mouthfeel. There is active acid that balances the fruit flavours leading to a firm long finish.” Stephen Read, Wine Matrix
Vintage 2018
“It is elegant and pristine, yet delightfully complex and fragrant on the nose showing white flesh stone fruit, rockmelon, nougat and vanilla characters. The palate delivers succulent fruit intensity and rounded mouthfeel, beautifully supported by creamy texture and bright acidity.” Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
“The nose has toasty oak, lemons, limes and hints of sweet melon, complex and inviting. Pale straw in colour clear and bright, this leads to a light bodied mouthfeel, creamy with lime and lemon fruit. Finishing up dry and clean. Enjoy now or in the next 3 years.” Stephen Read, Wine Matrix
Vintage 2017
“Beautifully fruited and elegantly fragrant, the bouquet shows ripe stone fruit, rockmelon, vanilla and hazelnut characters. The palate is succulent and concentrated with excellent fruit intensity and fine texture, backed by creamy mouthfeel and refreshing acidity. Wonderfully composed and stylish.” Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
Vintage 2015
“A beautifully detailed chardonnay, the wine shows delicate aromas of grape fruit, crunchy apple and lemon pith on the nose with a hint of almond complexity. The palate is finely textured and tightly structured, and delivers delicate fruit flavours and bright acidity. The finish is impressively long and very fine…” Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
Vintage 2014
“70% fermented in stainless steel, 30% whole bunch pressed to used French oak, matured for 10 months. The focus on the varietal fruit pays tribute to an exceptional vineyard, the intensity of the stone fruit flavours quite remarkable for a chardonnay at this price.” James Halliday
