There’s an edge of flinty reduction, which gives this instant gratification. White peaches, gently waxy beeswax elements and some bright, ripe and fresh fruits on the palate. A savory and thicker style, but it does not have the weight of …
A very stylish, powerful and composed chardonnay with attractive fresh lemons, white peaches and nectarines, as well as more savoury pastry and sweet white flowers. The palate is layered and complex, showing some gently creamy, lees-derived texture that is cut …
…It was an impressed judging panel that elevated this Chardonnay to Gold, with its ‘struck match, smoky bacon nose, tahini and rich yellow orchard fruits, sappy acidity and elegance’, as team leader Nigel Lister put it, also noting that it
