The entire Chidaine line up from top to bottom are rock solid and this is no different. Melon, mineral, a touch of peach, zippy acids and a steely note.

Bold and gripping, from the bouquet through the finish. The root vegetable character of Grolleau compliments the Pinot Noir's elegance, while the Gamay adds firmness and fullness. Utterly appealing.

Ripe floral apple and pear, peach/nectarine kernel, touch strawberry, passionfruit skin. Savoury flavoured, good acidity, but the slight r.s. makes it a little to heavy. Nice enough

Rose and sausages (Prince Sydney, 40 Hansard Street): Gamey, sappy, peppery…with time some very pretty red berry fruit that reminds me of that Pyramid Valley Pinot and there are some earthy as well. On the palate it is quite spicy and finishes warm, softly tannic with that berry fruit. Interesting and nice.

Popped and poured. Rich melon berry aroma. Forward strawberry flavors up front, banana pulp in the finish. Full flavored, good backbone, some complexity. Great QPR.

Really lovely bottle of rosé. Aromatic green strawberry and orange zest on the nose. Palate is clean, with good focus and acid, red fruit and a bit of watermelon girded by a woodsy component. Not hugely complex but a joy to drink. 89+

Off-the-chain goodness!!! At once refreshing, stalwart, gritty, and meaty. Chewy and saline, great balance, substantive finish.
