4 Stars - Winestate Annual 2010 - Vol 33, Issue 1

Fermented in French oak casks, the wine remained on yeast lees for nine months to give a creamy full palate. A sensational nose revealing a range of ripe tropical fruits with spicy oak complexity. The palate is delicious showing excellent intensity and concentration combined with seamless, smooth texture. The spicy oak gives the wine length and complexity and a long finish. Full and rich yet with elegance and fineness. A stunningly classy Chardonnay that is immediately drinkable but will keep well for a few years to come.

Wine Advocate - The 2007 Chardonnay is reticent on the nose but the palate has a brooding intensity about it, good weight, quite primal compared to others, with lime, dried apricot and a hint of ginger towards the finish. Prudent oak here – great winemaking – this Chardonnay grows on you. Give it a year in bottle.
