{screwcap, 12.5%} Tidy sort of wine. Still more green than straw, but plenty of colour; it's not pale at all. Grapefruit kind of nose, developing, but loose and open, with some sweet chippy oak and a pronounced malo character. The palate is fresh enough as long as the wine is served decently cool; it's medium weight, with vanilla oak, rockmelon/mango flavours without being overtly sweet, with low/medium acidity. Tangy tropical finish. Decent stuff that has probably picked up some nuance over five years, but it's not a long-term candidate by any means; this is at peak now I reckon.

Nice chardonnay. Fresh citrus leaning palate with some honey/golden syrup notes and slight oak influence. lacked a bit of length and concentration to score higher but a nice wine and I'd go again at the price for sure. I think more of an early drinker, I suspect it might start to fall apart after a little while.

Green apple and lemon on the palate. The acid is quite strong, but balanced well with the fruit. Good length as well.
