2023 Estate Chardonnay

"We’ve got a chardonnay on our hands here. A full-bodied, flavoursome chardonnay. It tastes of pears, grilled peaches, cooked apples, honey and cream, though for all that its faculties are still intact, so to speak, its fruit still lively. This is a chardonnay that is both chunky and soft at once. It lingers nicely too. It’s a giver, not a leaner, and a provider, of pleasure." Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front, 93 Points.

50% new oak, 100% mlf. Richer and riper than the '22. Aromas of white peach, gentle vanillin and a hint of sea spray precede the mouth-filling, nutty and persistent palate. Good to go now and over the next three to four years. Philip Rich, Halliday
