  Lovely wine that we had to commemorate my daughter's wedding with most of the family together for the first time in 18 months...next to last bottle left from her wedding in May 2016. Bright lemon yellow color, white floral nose along with lemon curd, almond and limestone. Palte had bright acidity and nice citrus and pear fruit, perhaps a little green apple and under-ripe pineapple too. Nice balance and a light feathery texture. Was a great value then and remains a great QPR. Not getting any better but this has enough acidity to remain delicious for several more years.

  A crowd pleaser. Not too oaky, not too severe. A goldilocks palate. Good QPR.

  After really enjoying Stuhlmuller’s Cabernet, we were excited to try this offering. Light color in the glass, much lighter than a typical Chardonnay. Notes of tropical fruit on the nose and palate with enough butter and cream to satisfy the pedestrian Chardonnay fans out there yet with acidity and backbone for the wine geek. We’ll be seeking out more.

  Nice medium yellow. Nice of minerals and citrus with a touch of tropical fruit. Nice crisp, bright mouthfeel with plenty of acidity. Palate similar to nose with clearly lemon as the citrus and maybe a touch of pineapple on the finish. Plenty of life left.

  Light gold in color, this wine reveals honeysuckle, pineapple and ripe banana on the nose. The mouth feel is full bodied with defined mineral/wet stone and subtle hints of orange zest. The finish is crisp and moderately long with the tropical fruits coming on strong. 14.1% abv.
  
  Purchased for $12US/375ml, this is a very well made wine that was the perfect start to a wonderful meal shared with my GF. It paired beautifully with our fresco salad.
