95 / 100"Ginger and cinnamon, white flower, white peach, grapefruit, a subtle amount of struck match. Fine bones, lovely chalky texture, spiced apple and a pleasant amount of nutty oxidative/saline stuff, with a bright and zesty finish of cool length and persistence. Needs another year to settle into its groove, but a tight and bright style offering plenty of energy."

Tasting Notes
Both Charlie & Skye spent a vintage making wine in Burgundy over a decade ago.
Making an Australian version of Chardonnay that could scratch that White Burgundy itch had always been a dream of theirs, and it's one they've achieved right here in this wine
Exotic aromas of almond blossom, white florals, frangipani and peach. The palate delivers plenty of primary fruit weight and drive, generous with savoury lees/sulphide flavour. Acidity a hallmark this year, cooling and long with salivating qualities. 2022 has delivered the depth, drive and finesse we aspire to in Chardonnay.
