Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"A refined, complete expression of Chardonnay that exudes elegance and poise. The nose is lifted with notes of fleshy stone fruits laced with brioche, and the palate is layered, creamy and complex, yet still elegant, and is framed with focused acidity.

Certified organic and biodynamic fruit was handpicked in three batches, between the 19-27th March. Picked by clone – commencing with Mendoza, then Clone 95 and finally Clone 15, each batch was directly whole bunch pressed. Each batch was pressed to tank for overnight settling before being racked to barrel. All batches went through 100% wild fermentation, and subsequently 100% malolactic fermentation. After six months in French oak, both puncheons and barriques, the batches were blended, filtered and bottled."

"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."
