  Seems to be improving. A perfect accompaniment to prosciutto

  Great chardonnay. The balance is striking, in particular the acidity underpins the fruit with great skill. It is still very young, but has a great future.

  Big nose of peach and white stone fruit, wet slate and a hint of oak. More buttery on the palate, with good acid balance, and a minerally hint in the finish. Will have to see how these develop.

  Vanilla, honey, butter and cream, with some peach flavours.
  Deliciously smooth.
  Light gold colour and a long finish. Paired with a feta, pine nut and chicken risotto

  With similar wine making to the Stevens Rd, I was surprised to find such a huge contrast in the finished product
  
  Peach and grapefruit aromatics
  
  Huge acidity, white nectarine, pear turning to grapefruit. Mineral is a counterpoint rather than a major feature in the bracing racy, but no way austere, texture
  
  A lovely example of letting the fruit speak for itself
