Past reviews:
95 Pts Huon Hooke, The Real Review 'Light straw-yellow hue, with a most appetising aroma of citrus fruits and small flowers, obviously very chardonnay-driven and could easily be taken for a blanc de blancs. Very fine, crisp and lively on the tongue, with a refreshing dry balance. Outstanding freshness. Excellent wine. (80:20 chardonnay:pinot noir. Minimum 2 years on lees in bottle. Disgorged December 2019.
94 Pts Halliday Wine Companion 'A blend of 80% chardonnay and 20% pinot noir. 40% reserve wines from 2010-2012 matured in French foudres and in bottle (on lees) for at least two and a half years, this disgorged October 2018. It is fine and intense, and has tremendous drive and length to its citrus and apple flavours. Exceptional value.
