Winemaker Notes

Bright and vibrant in appearance. Abundant aromas of butterscotch, ripe citrus, pistachios and golden delicious apple on the nose. The palate is fresh and linear with good backbone of acidity. Full bodied with an elegant structure, flavours of citrus, golden delicious apple and vanilla follow. Lean & crisp the wine concludes with a long tart finish.

Professional Ratings

Bright and snappy on the palate, offering ripe green apple and cherry fruit, with blood orange peel and salted almond notes. Sleek and minerally on the refreshing finish.
90Robert Parker s Wine Advocate
The 2022 Chardonnay is bright and complex with succulent lemony notes, showing the citrus sitting apart from the oak as well as its youthful state. Burgundian in style and with lively acidity, elements of apples and dusty white flowers are apparent, while the palate could achieve better precision with more fine-tuning. Medium-bodied and with 13.1% alcohol, malolactic fermentation was suppressed to create a fresher expression of Chardonnay before it rested in 60% new barrels for nine months.
