95 / 100"The flagship chardonnay from Rebecca and Tim Duffy from Holm Oak. Pale straw in the glass with inviting characters of grapefruit, green apple, lemon and stone fruit. There is a layer of fine spice along with hints of white flowers, lemon curd, nougat and dreamy oak flitting around. Drive is plentiful on the palate with a porcelain acidity setting a brisk cadence, pulling the ripe stone and citrus fruits across the tongue. Spicy French oak frames the scene and the wine trails off persistently."
