  From memory - a intriguing and electric Chardonnay. Lean and citrus driven with pear/ cucumber and a slight herbal note.
  Lively, fresh but let it warm and more buttery weight does present itself but never really deviated from that leaner sharp style
  Very good

  Absolute stunner! So refined, intense citrus aromas, balanced by great fruit with yellow stonefruit characters. Absolutely soft and valvety mouthfeel! Stunning! First feels like Sauv Blanc, but Chardonnay fruit is coming through immediately after and telling you what you drink. Love this wine!! Chapeau Taras!!!

  A pale straw with a hint of green in the glass. On the nose I would not have said this was Chardonnay! Peach and honeysuckle, it smells like a viognier or a plush savignon blanc. So strange! On the palate it retains a bit of that perfumed aspect, with notes of pear, but adds to it both a sharp acidity and a prickly minerality. It has the steely finish of an unoaked Chardonnay. Such a strange expression, but very interesting. So acid driven, I would like to see how a few years of age affects it. Good with potential.
