"Bright, even, pale yellow gold. The nose is gently full, with aromas of stonefruit, pineapple, cream pie and a hint of struck-match. Full-bodied, aromas of pineapple and ripe peach melded with banoffee pie, spice and smoke flint. The mouthfeel is elegantly creamy with balanced, fresh acidity. Delicate spice and toffee contribute layers and interest, lending a long, moreish finish. A classic California Chardonnay shows elegance and restraint" Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Reviews, May 2023

"Bold and fruity bouquet laced with scents of burnt butter and tropical fruits, red apple and sweet grapefruit. Full-bodied as the wine touches the palate, a creamy smooth texture, moderate acid line and balanced alcohol adding richness and mouthfeel. Dry with spice and nut, some mild toasty wood flavours, balanced and well made with best drinking from day of purchase through 2028" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Apr 2024

Mandarin organge, mango, peach and vanilla notes.
