"The 2024 Chardonnay is spicy and savory and layered with notes of sandalwood, yellow peach, white pepper, cracked nuts and brine. In the mouth, the wine is silky and sophisticated, with a richness of mid-palate fruit that is extraordinarily satisfying. These are routinely smart wines, and this carries on that proud tradition. It is very good indeed. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap."

"The 2024 Chardonnay Estate delivers immediate impact with waves of musky peach and nectarine aromas, supported by a solid base of French oak and a touch of flinty complexity. It is intense and youthful, with a firm backbone of chalky acidity underpinning a core of tight flavor. Great overall energy and vitality suggest a promising future."

"The nose gives aromas of lemon rind, shortbread and grapefruit. The plate is medium-bodied with focused acidity, giving notes of lime curd, green papayas and mandarins. Very balanced and focused. Delicious. Drink or hold. Screw cap."

"The 2023 Estate Chardonnay is well weighted and approachable, offering cantaloupe and pear aromas beautifully integrated with silky French oak. A charmer all round, it sits in an elegant frame with a savory feel through to a seamless finish."
