"The 2021 Chardonnay Estate is terrific, with ripe tangerine and citrus notes as well as minty herb, flowers, and a touch of chalky minerality. It's nicely balanced, has good mid-palate depth, medium body, and a lengthy finish. It would be a great introduction to the quality and style of this notable estate."

"The 2021 Chardonnay Estate displays aromatic, orchard fruit, white flowers, mint, lime and kiss of tropical fruit. With time in the glass, this effusive, beautifully perfumed Chardonnay brings out the wine's creaminess and texture."

"Scents of apple and tropical notes of mango meet this wine,s round, sweetcorn sweetness. The flavors are taut and well-balanced, with a pleasing tartness that makes those tropical notes sing. Ready to pour for prawns. ‡ P.J.C. "

"Sharp aromas of lime peel and grapefruit pith introduce the nose to this appellation cuv,e. The high-acid palate is very racy and tight, showing brisk apple flesh and squeezed citrus flavors. An ideal Chardonnay for shellfish, and one that will last in the cellar for years. ‡ Matt Kettmann"
