Winery notes (2024 Vintage)
"This elegant wine offers complex aromas of zest of lemon and lime, citrus flowers and baking spices supported by toasted almonds, butterscotch and vanilla. Richly textured, the palate has fabulous flesh and power, finishing with lime zest flavours."
5 Stars & 97/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, February 2026 (2024 Vintage)
"A magnificent rendition, the alluring bouquet presents ripe peach, rockmelon, lemon pith, and cedar characters with a hint of flinty overtone. The concentrated palate displays excellent focus, plush texture, and beautifully pitched acidity, finishing impressively long and expansive. This is a gratifying Chardonnay that offers exquisite poise and harmony, ensuring its graceful development. At its best: 2028 to 2039.unning depth and plush mouthfeel together with velvety texture and brilliantly pitched acidity, making it compelling and striking. At its best: 2024 to 2034."
