Chardonnay, oh Chardonnay. You really don’t have to be any better, do you? Back in the day when I lead staff tastings in retail we had Chardonnay tastings some four times a year. It’s the only time people would call in sick in order to opt out of staff...

On the palate this is both chewy and fresh with acids that seem a bit high all things considered. Theres lovely balance and purity to the black currant fruit on the palate which shows a little minty quality on the back end. The finish is nice... Read More

Fermented by indigenous yeasts, with barrel ageing for added texture to the palate. An interesting aromatic profile, not your typical Viognier. Notes of white peach, sweet capsicum and ginger spice? It has a robust,... Read More
