Very light-yellow colour. The bouquet is slightly muffled and subtle with smoky-toasty nuances over deliciously appetising citrus fruit, the palate likewise intense, concentrated and powerful, with outstanding length and penetrating flavour that lingers on and on. A fabulous chardonnay. 08 NOV 2020 Drink 2020–2032

Bright, fresh chardonnay with citrus, lemon, ginger, hazelnut and toasty oak flavours. Youthful, tangy, linear wine with an impressively lengthy finish. A true thoroughbred that is approachable now but promises to deliver more with bottle age. 12 JAN 2021 Drink 2021–2031

Hand-picked, whole-bunch pressed, wild-fermented in French barriques and puncheons (30% new), matured for 7-8 months. A more cabernet sauvignon bouquet and more drive on the intense palate build on foundations of grapefruit and white peach fruit, sparkling acidity to close.

Medium straw-yellow colour in the glass. A big aromatic lift from the glass with struck-match, bacon fat and white peaches all in the mix. That same intensity and presence is replicated on the palate. Beechworth is a powerhouse region, and this wine is ticking all those boxes in fruit and savouries all balanced by firm acids and a judicious hint of phenolics. Goes forever on the palate 25 JAN 2021 Drink 2021–2031
