Halliday Wine Companion - 95 Points

There is a meticulous approach to winemaking at this address, with no expense spared. And while this errs on the side of flashy chardonnay, there is an effortlessness in the glass and an accurate representation of a season that, while high on challenges, afforded a concentration only made possible by small yields. This is a beautiful wine. Crème fraîche, green mango, an earthy almond mealiness and white peach. And the length – it perseveres with tremendous line and grace. And as with most of these wines, oak is a prerequisite, imparting a softness and restfulness, a warmth via baking spices. And all without a loss of vitality. Katrina Butler
