Theory & Practice Chardonnay
2018
Ripe nectarine and aromatic grapefruit notes on the nose. Toasty and savoury oak fermentation nuances along with a brioche note support the fruit and bring complexity to the wine.
"Gorgeously styled and expressed, the bouquet shows golden peach, mango, nougat and vanillin oak characters with a hint of brioche complexity. The palate delivers excellent weight and rounded mouthfeel, superbly complemented by creamy texture and well-integrated acidity. Soothing and comforting with elegant complex flavours. At its best: now to 2022." 5 Stars & 93/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, August 2019
"Ripe nectarine and aromatic grapefruit notes on the nose. Toasty and savoury oak fermentation nuances along with a brioche note support the fruit and bring complexity to the wine. The palate is full bodied and rich while retaining great balance. Browned butter, toasted cashew and canned peach notes all add interest. These layers of richness come mainly from perfectly ripened grapes, sweet French oak barrels and warm fermentation temperatures. A touch of pithy texture and acidity keep this richness in check."
