This is a delight! It is fresh, bright, vibrant, complex and intense - in a word 'exhuberant'. There's ripe white peach, nectarine and honeydew melon flavours and, while the fruit is dominant, even expressive, there's an oak grip especially on the finish. More generous due in part to the inclusion of a new clone, it remains a pristine example of chardonnay grown in the ultra-cool Piccadilly Valley. While very satisfying young, the wine is expected to age beautifully for at least ten years.
