good nose of stone fruits , nuts -almonds , and seashell minerality
rich flavours on the palate
picked as white burgundy due to the almond notes

October 3, 2022 - Somewhat one dimensional: melon, peaches, toffee, brioche; fat, sweetish with barely enough acidity to keep it in balance. Good, but not great. I expected more from this outstanding producer but after all its is just their base level cuvee.

June 9, 2022 - Loads of melon honey and oak. Great old style Chardonnay a great hit with the red drinkers! I love this wine now getting a bit of age

January 14, 2022 - 2019 Visit to Cromwell (Central Otago, NZ): New oak 10%. This sample just racked. A nose of cinnamon and other spices, citrus and rock melon. Pear, nectarines, blanched almonds and some peaches on palate. Decent acidity. Plenty of mid palate stuffing. Good length. Seemingly a riper expression than typical for this cuvée.
