Juicy and beautifully balanced. Much more savoury and interesting (and expensive!) than the Clonal Brothers 2019. Refined. (JR)

Aged for 14 months in French oak barrels (20% new). Definitely cool climate and smooth textured. Beautifully well mannered with nothing remotely strident about this. Some kumquat aromas and rounder and less obviously acid than, say, a top NZ Chardonnay such as Kumeu River's. Open and friendly and just slightly less obviously savoury than a fine white burgundy but a beacon of subtlety and balance for an Australian Chardonnay, surely? Impressively long. Really rather beautiful. This gives the impression of a true terroir wine. The merest suggestion of smokiness. (JR)
