95 / 100"A top-flight chardonnay, as we might expect under this label. Intense and full-bodied yet the power of the wine is contained within a tight and refined structure that is more about palate length than weight or breadth. Restrained richness. A most impressive chardonnay, oak seamlessly interwoven, youthful and vigorous and promising to have a long and rewarding life."

Tasting Notes
The nose shows delicate citrus and white stonefruit with a hint of oak and sulphide lift. The palate has the generosity of Chardonnay in a toned down form. The fruit is balanced well with the fresh acidity and slight textural element from extended time on yeast lees.
