Description
"The trademark characteristics of the wine produced on our site are understated power and length with a mineral finish. The wine has a great fruit expression that is well integrated with French oak. The soil characteristics have come through in the style of wine we have today. The palate is fine but firm, with great acidity, texture and length. This wine is rich in flavour, yet very refined." - Nick Farr
"The perfect chord. Well maybe not perfect, as there are so many variations of chords, but when they sound so beautifully balanced, top notes and bass notes, just right. Perfect for me, perhaps is the better way to describe it. Describing beautiful wine is difficult, it is often linked to emotion rather than an equation, but when you taste it, it becomes obvious. The fruit is ripe, but not canned peachy stuff, ripe as though you took something from the vine at just the right moment, not a moment too soon or too late. I’m tasting this wine at ‘room temperature’, so maybe 13 degrees or so. Fruit expression, crushed rock, nuttiness, they sound like weird bedfellows, but they fit together so well. The epitome of balance. Saying more only takes away from what is just brilliant Chardonnay." - Notes from Ben Knight (benandwine.com)
