  Well made, balanced chardonnay. Good acid and fruit balance with a bit of richness and toast from the oak.

  Very good well balanced cooler climate Aussie Chardonnay. Ripe yet refreshing grapefruit, peach and apricot fruit with a light kiss of new oak smoke and hazlenut, a light butter, dairy element from the malo and a hint of steely minerality. Elegance yet with complexity and precision. Medium bodied. Medium(+) length. Medium alcohol. Acidity is maybe just slightly lacking. Drink now, but may improve a little for 2-3 years aging and keep for a further 2-3.
