Description

  • French oak
  • Grapefruit
  • Toasty wood
  • Powerful finish

"Plenty of apple, lemon, and raw bread dough aromas and flavours, yet it maintains a restrained and polished character. Flavourful and vibrant, with subtle hints of vanilla and apple tart in the finish. Suitable for immediate enjoyment or cellaring" James Suckling, Jamessuckling.com

"A youthful primary bouquet of grapefruit and fresh yellow stone fruits, fresh cashew nut and mild toasty wood highlights, there’s a hint of tropical fruit then apple and a clay soil quality. Equally youthful as the wine touches the palate, taut textures from acidity, some fine tannins and influences from barrel. Dry with plenty of weight and style, a wine that still needs time to find its groove, I am confident it will with a best drinking window of 2025 through 2030" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Apr 2024

This wine offers a complex aroma of citrus, stonefruit, and spice characteristics. The palate has depth and intensity with mineral notes and a powerful finish with flavours of apricot and vanilla, balanced by a juicy acidity. A Chardonnay that shows richness alongside a tightly structured palate with layers of texture and pairs well with snapper, saffron, shellfish and other delicate flavours.
