Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"Peach, cashew and lemon aromas with pastry/biscuit notes. Touch of oak. Fresh and refined. Complex and evolving – initially peach and cashew on entry followed by apple, melon and oaty notes. Mineral and citrus can also be found. Nicely concentrated and elegant.

This chardonnay was harvested from 30 & 7yr old Mendoza clone vines. A 1/3rd was hand picked and whole bunch pressed. The balance was machine harvested. The juice was fermented with predominantly wild yeast in a combination of new and seasoned French oak barriques. After ferment the wine was lees stirred to add complexity and build palate weight. The wine spent nine months in barrel before assembly and bottling."


93/100 & Buy of the Week, Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review, January 2024 (2022 Vintage)
"Rich, buttery chardonnay with a lot of French oak influence that gives both flavour intensity and complexity a boost. Nicely balanced wine with good acidity and structural support from fine oak and fruit tannins."


Rated Excellent & 93/100 Cameron Douglas MS, January 2024 (2022 Vintage)
"A distinctive bouquet filled with aromas of baked nut and burnt butter, baked yellow stone fruits, baking spices and winemaking complexities. Full-bodied, rich and creamy texture with some contrasting acidity lead to flavours of Brazil-nut butter and salt, peach and white fleshed tree fruits. Barrel spices and dry stone soil ideas deliver complexity and breadth across the palate. Well made and ready to drink from mis to late 2024 through 2028+.."
