Interesting wine - very much a food wine. Quite pale in colour but fairly full in the mouth with oaky toast and hints of marzipan and toffee banana. A little short on the finish which was also a little hot suggesting the alcohol was not fully balanced - perhaps already past its best so drink up

Very good AR Chard. Dry, crisp, not too much oak and great finish! Probably good for another year or two!

Fresh, crisp with a small amount of oak. There is some tartness on the mid-palate which is not a bad thing. This is a decent chardonnay for the price.

A nose of citrus and spice, medium yellow in color. A medium bodied pleasant white, with pineapple, pear, vanilla finish, a good value.
