Description

I’d like to be at lunch drinking this with friends explaining to them how good Aussie chardonnay is, but I could say nothing and pour instead. They’re bound to be mesmerised by the complexity and perfect balance of stone fruit and citrus, ginger, woodsy spices and subtle oak. A skein of minerally acidity matches the finely tuned palate and leaves me hankering for more. 96 Points - Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion

Woah this is so intense, it’s kind of like staring at the sun. It bursts with lime, grapefruit, green melon and nectarine (that just about covers it), has some salty pastry dough, and a little cinnamon. It’s very flinty and tight, but there’s also an explosion of flavour, and the finish is very long, saline and chalky textured. Quite a wine. 95 Points - Gary Walsh, The Wine Front

This is so fine, bright, and pretty aromatically, making for a moreish start. The palate seamlessly walks the line of energetic tension and flavour concentration, carrying notes akin to the nose... This is energetic, finessed, and bright, but at the same time complex and intense, with excellent line and length. A brilliant release.  95 Points - Tom Kline, Inside Burgundy
