Tasting Notes: Plump and fruity, this is a smooth drinking Chardonnay with ripe stone fruit, mango and citrus flavours. The palate is generous and comforting with a creamy texture and a refreshing finish.
REVIEWS:
Cameron Douglas MS 93 Points - Excellent Deep straw hues and a very bright appearance lead to a bouquet of ripe orchard stone fruits, citrus and apple with a tropical fruit and gentle oak spice suggestion. On the palate, a satin-cream texture touches first then flavours of yellow and white peach, sweet grapefruit and apple then flavours of baking spice and a touch of Brazil-nut butter. Acidity, gently warming alcohol and youthful freshness set the structure in place with fruit and spice flavours that repeat across the palate. Balanced and well made with an even persistent finish.
Sam Kim, Wine Orbit 90 Points - 4/5 Stars ****/* Charming and inviting, the bouquet shows ripe stone fruit, rockmelon, orange peel and nougat notes, leading to a succulent palate offering supple mouthfeel backed by mellow acidity, offering delightful drinking. At its best: now 2027
