96 / 100"More restrained and less obviously worked than the Luminosa, the power here comes from the undertow of fruit. It carries on far past the expected limit of endurance. If the key to quality is length of flavour, then this must be very good indeed. A spectacular wine. - Erin Larkin"

Tasting Notes
The prevailing Antarctic winds create distinction and character in this wine. Salty, sea-sprayed fruit contributes to a unique and complex oyster shell character. Salty nougat, nutty character, peach fuzz, zesty citrus and smoky oak round out the generous nose. Incredible power of fruit. Textured and mouthwatering, there is obvious chemistry between the fruit and the oak. Flavours of crushed lime, lemon and sea salt. Lively mineral acidity and layered texture. Pure, powerful and unparalleled Chardonnay.
