Gorgeous chardonnay from this boutique producer. Whilst this wine has pure, flint and mineral Chablis-esque characters, the palate has some richness and weight and it is certainly rounder in the mouth than the great Chablis wines it pays homage to. It finishes with a deliciously acidic hit that makes a second glass impossible to refuse.
Cameron Douglas MS writes "The invitation to immediately taste the wine is driven by scents of peach and sweet grapefruit, lees and oak complexities and vanilla custard. On the palate the wine is delicious with layers of spice and fine tannins, there’s some warming alcohol accentuated by the acid line then contrasting core flavours of stone and tree fruits, citrus and barrel spices. Well made with plenty of weight and creaminess, length and complexity."
Stephen Wong, The Real Review writes "Pale, light gold. A Mendoza-clone nose of sappy fruit with minerality and oak showing. Flinty reduction. The palate is intense and full, lots of drive, weight and coiled energy just waiting to explode across the palate. Give it a year or two and it will be very impressive. Grainy, chalky phenolics, long, a bit of heat on the back but very good concentration and intensity here."
The winery writes "Green gold with silver flecks. Aromas of grapefruit, orange zest, grilled white stonefruits, chared applewood with underlying peach blossom and oystershell. Fresh citrus dominates with crunchy nectarine, crystalized pineapple, sweet baking spice and a saline minerality in support. A fine acid structure is coated with a silky texture to give a long complex finish."
