$25.99

Awarded Gold Medal & 95/100 Points - International Wine Challenge 2025

This premium Chardonnay is somewhat of a sleeping giant.  Powerful and layered with just about everything needed to satisfy the Chardonnay set.

"Delightfully complex and enticing, the wine shows ripe peach, lemon peel, vanillin oak, and savoury pastry aromas on the nose. The palate delivers excellent concentration and plush texture, splendidly framed by beautifully infused acidity, finishing persistent and satisfying. At its best: now to 2030" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Feb 2025

"A nicely measured bouquet and palate with a mix of wood spice and peach, vanilla and barrel smoke framed by the just creamy mouthfeel. Additional flavours of nut, banana and nectarine, crumbled stone and a fine lees complexity add depth and style. A decent acid line carries flavours and textures throughout the palate. Nice wine with best drinking from 2025 through 2028" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Feb 2025
