4.5 Stars - Peter Saunders
"Shows as a very dry style giving a crispness that almost demands to be shared with food. A pleasing Chardonnay statement, clean and literate. Some development in the bottle lies ahead through the first 6 month of 2020. Line him up with a platter of antipasto or stimulate the taste buds as an aperitif. Into 2024. (under original label)
4 Stars - Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
"
Youthful and gently lifted, the bouquet shows Gala apple, grapefruit, nougat and roasted cashew characters, leading to a succulent palate that’s nicely rounded and creamy. It’s elegantly expressed with balanced acidity, finishing crisp and lingering. At it’s best: now to 2022. (under original label)

Perfect midweek Chardie...stonefruit and zesty. Pale straw in colour,  aromas of peach and melon. Soft palate with a touch of subtle oak.

Harvested in the cool mornings of late March. The cold Chardonnay grapes were brought in to the winery and gently pressed. The juice was then fermented warm and aged for 12 months on yeast lees undergoing a full malolactic conversion before being prepared and bottled.

Great with food. An absolute bargain at this price!!!
