Description

  • American oak
  • Grilled pineapple
  • Banoffee pie
  • Fresh acidity

"Upfront and generous, the wine shows grilled pineapple, mango, vanillin oak and butterscotch aromas, followed by a richly textured palate that's succulent and creamy. Beautifully rounded and silky with a lengthy, delicious finish. At its best: now to 2026" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Apr 2024

"Bright, even, pale yellow gold. The nose is gently full, with aromas of stonefruit, pineapple, cream pie and a hint of struck-match. Full-bodied, aromas of pineapple and ripe peach melded with banoffee pie, spice and smoke flint. The mouthfeel is elegantly creamy with balanced, fresh acidity. Delicate spice and toffee contribute layers and interest, lending a long, moreish finish. A classic California Chardonnay shows elegance and restraint" Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Reviews, May 2023

"Bold and fruity bouquet laced with scents of burnt butter and tropical fruits, red apple and sweet grapefruit. Full-bodied as the wine touches the palate, a creamy smooth texture, moderate acid line and balanced alcohol adding richness and mouthfeel. Dry with spice and nut, some mild toasty wood flavours, balanced and well made with best drinking from day of purchase through 2028" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Apr 2024

Mandarin organge, mango, peach and vanilla notes.

It embodies the bold, pioneering spirit of the California landscape and those who call it home. 100% barrel fermented, then aged for 6 months in American oak barrels, this Chardonnay isn’t the oak-bomb style of ten years ago. Instead, it strikes the perfect balance between richness and elegance. Our modern version of Cali Chard is bold and engaging, offering an unmistakable varietal signature that’s perfect for pairing with your favorite home-cooked meals.

A happy planet produces great wine.
