A quiet achiever, the Seville Estate reds are very impressive, yet the Chardonnay, whilst a generous 13.7% alcohol is surprisingly austere and 'Chablis' like. It is a wine of considerable subtlety, which can easily be overlooked in a line up. Bright straw colour. The nose displays spicy cashew and delicate barrel ferment character. The palate is much leaner than the nose suggests, with grapefruit and cashew flavours dominating. There is a hint of butterscotch with some cashew overtones - and good persistence. Crisp acidity. Cellar at least 5 years.
