- Attractive blend of richness with zesty green acidity. Very slightly hint of oak still but lovely texture and a certain savour on the finish. Almost Riesling-like raciness reassures over the likelihood of a relatively long life of this wine.

- Aromas of orange blossom, citrus zest and hints of toffee. Luscious, fresh cut green melon and spiced pear flavors enhanced by interesting mineral components. Brimming with vibrant acidity and freshness, this wine has incredible complexity, moderately toasty notes of oak with a full mouthfeel. Great balance with lingering, mouth-watering finish. A distinctive Chardonnay made in the Farrell style, which leans toward acidic and elegant. But this is not an austere wine, far from it. It has a rich minerality and flavors of lime and pineapple custard, and then an even richer creme brulee finish. read more...Delicious and complex. -Wine Enthusiast (hide)
