November 2018A vibrant chardonnay with a strong array of peach aromas and subtly flinty edges. There’s plenty of interest on the palate and the tension and power is very impressive, as is the clarity.

Additionally, there is a delightful note of vanilla and butter on the palate to round it out

James Suckling, June 2022 (Vintage 2019)Aromas of lily, vanilla and lemon curd. Medium-bodied with lovely clarity and delicacy. Flint grounds the floral and creamy character on the palate. Supple finish. Drink or hold.

July 2019Very attractive baked pears and peaches with baking spices that add early complexity. The palate has a smooth build of fresh, fleshy, ripe pears and peaches and delivers an attractively long, mouth-filling style.

April 2018This is a pretty, even sexy style, that matches its crisp green apple core to lightly buttery barrel toast. It's a classic combination, well executed, not too ripe, but fresh, clean and quite tasty.
