Stylish and elegant, the inviting bouquet shows ripe peach, lemon peel, nougat, and roasted almond characters. It is followed by a splendidly weighted palate offering a creamy mouthfeel with finely pitched acidity, making it well-structured and lingering. At its best: now to 2030.

Up-front this presents an attractive mix of pear, citrus, cedar and cream-like flavours, though the real seduction is in the grilled peach characters running through the finish. This is a tasty chardonnay, satisfying and well styled, that is drinking a treat right now but, should you wish, could also be cellared for the next handful or so years.
