Description

  • Spicy oak
  • Grilled stone fruit
  • French vanilla
  • Creamy mouthfeel

"It's instantly appealing on the nose with grilled stone fruit, mango, French vanilla and roasted hazelnut characters. The palate delivers excellent weight and roundness, gorgeously complemented by creamy texture and fine acidity. Richly styled and delectably expressed with a lengthy satisfying finish. At its best: now to 2028" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, May 2023

"Bold and expressive bouquet filled with a power pack of yellow peaches and ripe apple, layers of vanilla spice and burnt butter, some extra wood spices and a raw brown sugar note. On the palate lots of cream-fresh and peach flavours, whipped butter wrapped in a silky cream texture. Balanced and ready, tasty and delicious. Best drinking from 2023 through 2026" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, May 2023

This Chardonnay has a full, broad nose of refreshing and bright aromas of ripe yellow stone fruits and citrus fruits along with an edge of creamy and nutty barrel-ferment and spicy oak notes, subtle lemon-curd and buttery MLF notes. The palate has flavours of citrus fruits melded with creamy barrel-ferment and nutty, spicy oak. The mouthfeel is enriched by integrated layers of lemon-curd and buttery MLF nuances. The palate has an underlying freshness with acid poise, and the wine flows along a fine-textured line with creamy nutty notes leading to a sustained finish with toasty oak.
