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."
- Bob Campbell MW
94 / 100
"Autolysis scents of fresh brioche and chalky soils touch the nose first and are quickly followed by those of strawberry, apple and touch of white peach. Fresh, crisp and dry on the palate with a vibrant textured mousse carrying flavours of white fleshed fruits, lemon and mineral. The autolysis layers in complexity and breadth with some baked goods and a touch of ginger spice. Delicious, fresh and ready to enjoy from day of purchase through 2028."
