Bob Campbell MW writes "Moderately intense, fruity wine with pineapple, vanilla, peach, cashew nut and root ginger flavours, with a hint of oyster shell character. Clearly a wine from a top vintage."
Yvonne Lorkin writes "A brand new wine from the team at Squawking Magpie, this is an ultra-creamy, dreamy new style of chardonnay with a fine line of oak and a cloak of ripe nectarine and gentle grapefruit, this chardonnay will bring happiness and joy all the way down to your giblets. Rich, complex and satisfying – this is going to be a huge hit!"
The winery writes "The 2021 barrel fermented chardonnay offeres a sophisticated soft wine with restrained flavours of grapefruit, melon and a subtle blend of nut, spicy oak and lees characters. Barrel fermented and barrel aged in new and older French oak adds complexity and texture."
