Description / Reviews
"Intense aromas of freshly cut peaches, white flowers and sea spray, with nougat and river pebbles making an appearance. There is a fresh lift of Thai basil, fennel and wild mint to complement the fruit. An overall complex and intriguing set of aromas. Layers of pithy white stone fruit, mint fudge and lime zest glide along the palate. There is a lasting lemon curd and mineral component, consistent with previous vintages from these 38 year old chardonnay vines. It is a very detailed wine, lacey and tightly coiled. The concentration and purity of the fruit grown on grey sandy clay loam soil is evident, especially in 2024. This is a very layered and refreshing chardonnay that can be enjoyed now but will also reward careful cellaring." - Winemaker Notes
"Light yellow in the glass; dusty toasty cashewnut and oak to sniff, with smoky charcuterie, a hint of dairy and a note of nougat. The palate adds lemon juice to the mix and with wine is refined, tense and focused, with medium length. It's stll a little in its shell but promising much if kept a while longer." - 92 Points, Huon Hooke, The Real Review
