GRWCHA15
A seductive combination of lightly toasted brioche, roasted hazelnuts and lemon curd interwoven with the potent fragrance of white-flesh peach and rock melon. An intricate fusion of opulent fruit and nutty, smoky savouriness derived from indigenous fermentations in French oak barriques. A bone dry and highly concentrated wine with distinct flintiness, tight structure and a crisp grapefruit finish.
Light yellow colour, very backward, and the bouquet is likewise quite undeveloped, smoky-oaky, toasted-nutty and quite clinical. The palate is intense, bright and youthful, even a bit straightforward. A very good but slightly muted style of chardonnay, which should be long-lived. 01 JUN 2019 Drink 2019–2025

Quite a rich, full-flavoured and complex chardonnay with grapefruit, white peach, toasted nut, ginger and brioche flavours. It's a weighty, textural wine with power and potential. 29 MAY 2018 Drink 2018–2022
