“Ive probably said it before, and anyone who knows me knows Im prone to repeating myself, but what a lovely evocative name it is for a vineyard.
It doesnt need any styling products; theres not a hair out of place here. White peach and lime, green melon, almond nougat, a whisper of struck match and spice. Smooth and flavoursome, a subtle viscosity interlaid with chalk and flint, some floral mouth-perfume, slight tweak to the finish with citrus rind and grapefruit tang. Right proper Chardonnay here.”

“From one of the oldest Upper Yarra Valley vineyards, barrel-fermented using normal Oakridge protocols, and there is a trace of reduction/funk that David Bicknell doesn’t shy away from. That the judges at the Yarra Valley Wine Show ’18 did so emphatically is their opinion, but I enjoy the grapefruit-accented flavours and the length of the palate.”
