Scented with grapefruit, ham hock, popcorn and matchstick oak, with a deep, luscious core of citrus, stonefruit and creamy nougat-like complexity, this sumptuous, seamless chardonnay drives long and pristine down a voluptuous palate towards a lingering, compelling finish. Underpinned by a gravelly texture and finishing with a briny note, it's an essay in controlled power and thoughtful, intelligent winemaking to build a wine that is so much more than the sum of its many parts - 97pts Jeremy Oliver

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.
