Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"A tantalising, complete expression of Chardonnay that brings together both savoury structure, elegance and depth of concentration. Considered picking and use of oak has created a wine that leans towards the more complex, savoury styles of Chardonnay. Lifted mealy, flinty notes on the nose, develop into a smoky complex flavours on the palate. The wine remains poised with a slaty, mineral acidity on the finish and is bone dry.
Sourced from our our clay-rich Raupo Creek vineyard, which has a gentle north-west facing aspect, settled in the centre of the Omaka Valley. This vineyard is managed following Organic and Biodynamic principles."
4 ½ Stars Michael Cooper (2022 Vintage)
"This fine value, organically certified wine is designed to 'focus on the textural element of the palate rather than emphasising primary fruit characters'. It is typically a full-bodied, complex wine with good mouthfeel, ripe fruit characters shining through, subtle toasty oak, and fresh acidity. The 2022 vintage was estate-grown in the Raupo Creek Vineyard, in the Omaka Valley, hand-picked, and fermented and matured for six months in French oak barriques and puncheons. Bright, light lemon/green, it is an elegant wine, fresh and full-bodied, with peachy, slightly toasty flavours, showing considerable complexity, lots of youthful vigour, good acid spine and a lengthy finish. Best drinking mid-2024+."
92/100 Cameron Douglas MS, December 2022 (2022 Vintage)
"A lovely bouquet of peaches and vanilla cream, fresh red apple and soft toasty wood qualities. Lovely purity on the palate with a coarse-silk texture touching first then flavours of orchard fruits and citrus peel, fine tannins and medium+ acid line. Fresh, ripe and gently creamy with a lengthy finish. Rather satisfying and ready with best drinking from 2023 through 2026+."
92/100 Gary Walsh, The Wine Front, July 2024 (2022 Vintage)
"This is juicy and bursting with flavour. I’m thinking peach, grapefruit and light pineapple, with a some vanilla cream and spice. It’s bright, has a lively citrus bite to acidity, texture has some chalkiness, some slight yoghourt and oatmeal savoury things, with a pine-lime laden burst of flavour on a finish of good length."
