EXPERT REVIEWS

96 Points
Despite the heartbreak of low yields, meaning there are no single-block chardonnays this vintage, there is this exceptional wine. A perfect amalgam of stone fruit and citrus, zest and spice, savoury oak and cedar, mouth-watering acidity and creamy lees. A delicious wine. Get it while you can.

TASTING NOTES

AROMA

The Chardonnay has orchard stone fruit, grapefruit, citrus blossom, a hint of roasted almond and a lovely flinty note underlying.

PALATE

The palate is youthful and intensely concentrated, there is a nice layer of almond meal and cashew nut from the barrel fermentation rounding out the fruit. There are layers of deeply textured and concentrated fruit. White stone fruit and pithy grapefruit weave through a tightly wound and piercingly intense, mineral finish that goes on and on.

CELLARING POTENTIAL

Cellar for at least five years, the wine will go well past 10 years.

VINTAGE NOTES

The 2024 vintage was fine and early with low crops, resulting in finely poised wines.

VINIFICATION

Handpicked between 20 – 24 February and whole bunch pressed. The juice was transferred to 500 litre French oak barrels for natural fermentation. A 25% portion of which were new. The wines were aged on lees in oak for a further 10 months, prior to estate bottling in late January 2025.
