Scores
94 / 100"Chardonnay (75%) and pinot noir (25%) blend with 30% reserve wines. Light, almost ethereal wine with delicacy and charm. Subtle yeast autolysis characters and a silken texture. A delicately refreshing wine"

"Bright, light straw-yellow hue, with a faint brassy tinge. The bouquet is attractive, with some lightly-browned toast and subtle dried-fruit aromas, while the palate has richness and flavour depth, generosity and refinement, with a lingering dry finish that refreshes. A smart wine indeed."
- Huon Hooke
