D+JCHARD15
Trophy at the Tasmanian Wine Show '17, thanks to its super-intense bouquet and super-long palate. Sometimes chardonnays can wear their acidity on their sleeve, but here it couples with a complex display of stone and citrus fruit with a garland of quality oak, finishing with bright (not excessive) acidity.
97 points James Halliday TOP 100, Weekend Australian, November 2017
Light yellow hue. The bouquet is complex and toasty from oak, but fruit and artefact nuances are well harmonised. It is flavoursome but also high in acidity which tends to lean the palate out a little. Superb flavour and balance, length and discretion. Very stylish. A wine for the future.
96 points Huon Hooke The Real Review
Superlative chiselled chardonnay, unwinding on the palate in mineral-clad notches of stone fruits, toasted nuts and oatmeal, every detail embedded and driven long by sensitively handled reductive tension and juicy cool climate acidity
James Halliday, 2018 Wine Companion Best of the Best List
A beautifully restrained, lingering wine with fruit that gently comes to play on the palate. It has precise stone fruit, simply seamless
