Tasting Notes
The 2022 Block 2 chardonnay leads in with aromas of tight white peach and yellow stone fruits, along with green apple, citrus fruits, soft spice, nougat, grilled nuts, white flowers, crushed river stone and a curious whiff of chilled chicken broth. Tight and detailed with a beautifully taut palate shape and sense of clarity. Just a squeak of phenolics lends a wonderful textural aspect and the wine accelerates away on rails of minerally acidity, finishing savoury, stony and packed with umami. -96pts, Dave Brookes for Halliday Wine Companion
Taut, linear, chardonnay with energy and precise power. Subtle white wildflowers compete for attention with citrus fruits including lime zest, yellow grapefruit and lemon curd. Initially shy, the wine quickly opened up revealing savoury, nutty yeast lees. - 96pts, Bob Campbell
Yellow apple, apricot and acacia followed by baking spices, marzipan and stony minerality with a touch of cheese rind. Medium-bodied with a good backbone of acidity which balances out the wine well. Beautiful harmony and drinkability. Mendoza clone (Wente) on own roots. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink or hold. Screw cap. -96pts, James Suckling
