Charming and delightfully appealing, the wine shows ripe stone fruit, lemon peel, subtle vanilla and savoury pastry aromas, leading to a beautifully weighted palate displaying fine texture and creamy mouthfeel. Splendidly structured by bright acidity, finishing persistent and elegant. Reviewed: June 2023.
93 points A serious Adelaide Hills chardonnay, in a very un-showy style. Delicate white-flower and crisp pear aromas with just a whiff of smoke. Very cool, straight and focused on the rather sleek palate, with striking, flinty minerality and fine-grained tannins. Drink or hold.
Adelaide Hills, 94pts, 5 Stars Gorgeously complex and engaging on the nose showing ripe nectarine, lemon peel, nougat, roasted cashew and oatmeal notes, leading to a concentrated palate displaying graceful richness backed by bright acidity. Wonderfully composed and highly enjoyable. At its best: now to 2030. Reviewed: June 2022.
2015 Vintage “James Halliday Wine Companion – Gleaming straw-green; there’s a lot of wine for the price, as fruit, oak and acidity (not softened by partial mlf) play off against each other in a synergistic fashion. The flavor spectrum reflects the climate, comfortably spanning stone fruit and citrus. Has time to go. 94 points”
