  May 11, 2024 - Superbly aromatic nose of honeyed pears, light blossom and lavender, with hints of cucumber, sage, dill and white pepper, riding on a steely base of flint and oyster shell. Herbal, complex and shifting. The mouthfeel is weightless, with a fine almost mousse-like density, persistence, length and grace. The finish seems to reverberate forever on notes of crushed salt and herbal.

  November 15, 2023 - Intensely herbal nose with striking fresh sage and rosemary aromas. Layers of green passionfruit, pear and lemon. A chalky streak. Medium to full bodied with vibrant acidity. Great palate intensity. Long, bright and nuanced finish. A very interesting wine. Based on the herbal notes would never call Chardonnay blind. Would be interesting to see how this evolves.
  
  WSET Notes:
  
  Pale gold.
  
  Pronounced on the nose with fresh sage, rosemary, passionfruit, apricot, toast, dried apricot, ginger, pear, biscuit and chalk. Developing.
  
  Pronounced on the palate with green mango coming through. High acidity, high alcohol, full body, long finish.
  
  Can drink now but has potential for aging.
