  Pale, greeny palest straw. Vibrant. Initially some quite rich fruit notes, dialling back to a limey mineral line. Fresh and quite zingy. A faint touch of honeysuckle, but more about a lithe line and energy. ***1/2

  As ever, sadly for Burgundy, another reason why Chardonnay at this level in NZ is so much more attractive than in Burg. Delicious.

  World class Chardonnay - do not recall drinking a better NZ example - almost light and ethereal in its elegance, a truly graceful wine. Drank with prawn risotto and really made a nice accompaniment.

  beautiful wine - made for an interesting comparison with Rustenberg wine drunk soon after - really good depth of citrus and melon.

  Decent NZ chardonnay. Brioche notes. Stone fruit, minerals. Fresh palate, zippy acidity with buttery hazelnut flavors.
