About the wine
Tasting notes
Finely crafted and balanced, this complex and deeply layered chardonnay has a bouquet of white peach, melon and creamy, nutty complexity backed by nuances of ginger, fresh matchstick oak and yellow flowers. It's smooth and luscious, richly endowed with melon, grapefruit and white peach flavours tightly balanced with nougat-like and earthy undertones, extending long and savoury towards a lingering, soft but briny finish. With superlative balance, it's an exercise in complexity and latent power. - Jeremy Oliver

Chardonnay
One of the most planted, versatile and popular white varieties in the world. As a stand alone grape, Chardonnay is not the most interesting, nor complex varietal out there...but in the hands of a great winemaker it can be turned into one of the world's greatest pleasures! From the best bubbles of Champagne, to the lean, unoaked and mineral expressions of Chablis and the opulent, oaked and complex whites of Burgundy, Chardonnay is responsible for making some of the greatest expressions of white wine on the planet.
