Brilliant pale straw colour with a greenish tinge around the outskirts and a watery hue. Grapefruit and nectarine top notes overlay some citrus, biscuity oak and a subtle slatey minerality. Fresh grapefruit and nectarine flavours dominate the light to medium weight palate underscored by citrus, biscuity cashew like characters and mineral. Clean dry finish with bright acidity and a tight restrained mouthfeel. Aftertaste of grapefruit, nectarine, biscuit and citrusy mineral. Light, elegant and fresh sums up this Chardonnay.

Other Reviews…..
Truly beautiful. It flows effortlessly but then feels tight and reserved. It's going to be a humdinger once it's had time to flesh out and grow properly into its skin. White peach, lemon, flint and grilled nuts. It's all there, contained, elegant, harmonious. Grapefruit to the finish. Ever so stylish. Drink by 2025.
