Beautiful golden yellow in color, this Chardonnay opens up with aromas of grapefruit, peach, lemon peel, nutty, honey and light pineapple notes. On the mouthfeel, medium bodied (alcohol coming in at 13.5%), dry, good weight with a great mix of citrus, tropical fruit and lively acidity. The finish on this wine is very refreshing with plenty of citrus fruit and a touch of honey and light caramel. Fans of cool climate and moderate use of oak Chardonnay will find plenty to like in this wine, very enjoyable.

A good chardonnay, but nothing too on par with their 2007 from Mate's vineyard. Nice oak flavours. A little acidity could be detected. Good finish. Tasted November 2012.

Citrus, pear, nutty and green apple on the nose with citrus, hazelnuts and pear on the palate with nice zesty acidity on the palate and the long nutty finish.
Tasted March, 2013.
