The 2020 Chardonnay slowly emerges from the glass with fantastically floral scents of orange blossoms and jasmine over a core of Bosc pears, white peaches, and grapefruit juice, plus suggestions of beeswax, marzipan, and chalk dust. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers incredible intensity with great purity and seamless freshness, framed by a satiny texture, revealing layer upon layers of citrus, stone fruit, and spiced pears notes, finishing with epic length and restraint. 3333 bottles of this extraordinarily singular wine were made.

This decadently delicious 2020 Chardonnay immediately impresses with explosive aromas of vanilla cream, florals and just-picked nectarines with fantastic aromatic weight and volume. Packed full of marzipan, nutty oak and apricot flavours with a voluptuous texture, there is a perfectly balanced core of tangy acidity which keeps the energy high. A long, ripe and detailed finish tops what is a stunning package.

Flinty, smoky oak with a beautifully knit creaminess to the lemon curd pastry, subtle spiced pineapples and fine lees. Flavorful with a fine twist of nougat and subtle praline to the palate, showing fresh, creamy acidity and a full-bodied palate. Long, supple and subtle with a creamy finish. Drink now or hold.
