An attractive mix of floral and fruit tones opens proceedings — citrus blossom, Meyer lemon and white peach sit above cashew cream and chamomile, with subtle preserved lemon brine in the background. Fresh and bright, there’s a lovely melding of fruit and savouriness that carries through on the palate, where ample weight and texture sit in balance with lift and energy. White peach, ripe lemon, cashew and salinity mirror the nose, the fruit nicely wrapped in chalky phenolics and fresh acidity to good length. Approachable and energetic, but with enough complexity to hold the attention. A textbook Estate-level Chardonnay at a more-than-fair price.
