Halliday Wine Companion - 97 Points 

If you were sitting quietly in a corner, contemplating the vicissitudes of life, and a glass of this exceptional chardonnay came your way, well, all would be very well indeed. And you’d perk up. It’s a wine that tends to be scintillating in youth, driven by all manner of citrus flavours – lemon, pink grapefruit with a dash of lime but also a mille-feuille of leesy lusciousness, oak spices and a moreish savouriness. It seems powerful and explosive with its acidity, drive and energy yet manages to remain classy and complex. Jane Faulkner

Tasting Notes

• Aroma: White peach, lemon curd and nectarine layered with jasmine, subtle flint and finely judged oak.

• Palate: Medium to full-bodied with pristine stone fruit, citrus drive, creamy texture and a firm mineral backbone.

• Finish: Long, precise and tightly wound with saline length and remarkable persistence.

Serving Suggestions

Serve at 10–12°C. Decanting or allowing time in the glass will reveal additional layers of complexity and texture.
