Honeysuckle, baked apple and brioche aromas overlay some flinty minerality on the nose. A soft texture on the palate with a full mouth feel of rich pear, stone fruit and custard notes. The long palate shows good freshness from the cool vintage.
2020 sets a new benchmark for tricky seasons. A wet, cold and windy spring introduced our growing season, these conditions continued through our key flowering and fruit set periods in October and December - impacting our potential yields for the season. Disturbed weather patterns continued right through January, and whilst the weather settled in February, it was not its usual scorching self. We experienced cool periods through both veraison and ripening, delaying and then slowing down our harvest. Even with all that fruit, condition was superb with no disease pressure, and the small berries were bursting with flavour.

Highly Rated - Bob Campbell The Real Review
Light, tangy chardonnay with green apple, grapefruit, toast, and cashew nut with a backbone of assertive acidity. Good food wine, in fact it needs food to moderate both acidity and astringency.
