A nose of quince and stonefruit, white beach and green nectarine, stuck match and lime citrus. The palate has great tension, flinty minerality and beautiful acidity, reminiscent of somewhere in the old world that we are not allowed to mention. So taste for yourselves & guess...
A vibrant wine where a riot of orchard aromatics are the prelude for a floral palate of white nectarine, overlaying a delicate creaminess. Beautiful drinking.
"This is such a fluid chardonnay. It’s juicy, long and lingering, with pear drop, barley, cooked apple and grapefruit flavours arriving with inscriptions of chalk and apple pips. It has a minerally firmness to it but it’s also alive with succulent fruit... this will be sensational when it hits its peak" 94+ TWF
"..Very complex with aromas of quince, dried honey and grilled cashew and a little crème brûlée. Very fresh on the medium-bodied, chalky textured and long, satisfying palate. Feels both complete and ready." Halliday
Its Back! A beautifully clean, pure nose of ripe melon, lemon zest, and white peach with a lick of vanilla and toast from the oak. This has texture balanced with a mouth-watering acidity giving a classic, elegant style of Chardonnay to suit all occasions.
This is a have-your-cake-and-eat-it wine! It delivers robust flavours and perfume without losing structure and drinkability. This wine is rich and complex yet vibrantly fresh and tight. The palate is stunning - a gorgeous lemon ginger-infused clotted cream character, savoury and with super length.

"Fermented in new French puncheons, full mlf, 12 months in oak. Ripe peach mingling with nutty oak and matchstick-like minerality on the bouquet. A rich and almost buttery palate with citrussy acidity that tightens the wine through the finish and lingers in the aftertaste."

From the 1981 planted Rebenberg Vineyard at Mount Duneed, whole bunch pressed, fermented in new French oak and matured in 100% new French oak for 13 months.
Our flagship Chardonnay, is capable of stopping you in your tracks. Citrus, with grapefruit, lemon, white nectarine and almond meal notes. Finely lined throughout with a tantalising theme of bush herbs and lemon thyme. Bright, crystalline freshness to close.
