Expert Reviews

92 POINTS Words from James Suckling

"Notes of peaches, sliced pineapple, pie crust, white almonds and dried herbs. Medium- to full-bodied with a creamy texture. Focused and balanced, with delicious fruit and a bright aftertaste. Drink or hold."

93 POINTS The Real Review by Huon Hooke

"Intense bouquet featuring a generous amount of smoky, struck-flint reduction, grapefruit/lemon as well, the palate rich and full-blown with some apparent sweetness and opulent ripe fruit. This is a big, generous, old-school chardonnay that will have many fans. Full-bodied and concentrated, with generous but not overdone oak. A real crowd-pleaser. Drink now to 2034."

This is a full flavoured premium Chardonnay, straw coloured to the core with a feint green edge.
