FIVE STARS 95/100 | Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review
93/100 'Excellent' | Cameron Douglas MS

The Farm is Astrolabe's reserve level label and this chardonnay is certainly a release to be proud of. Fruit is given every attention in the winery and carefully selected parcels undergo full malo fermentation and aging in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is creamy, toasty and loaded with bright stonefruit flavours. It's drinking well now but a couple of years in the cellar will see this wine really come into its own.

Tasting Notes

Cameron Douglas MS writes "Aromas and flavours of citrus and peach, baked apple and tangerine, a vanilla custard creamy quality and core of pure fruit with floral overtones. There’s a mineral quality than emerges as the wine opens up in glass along with a hint of white smoke from the oak. On the palate - a dry wine with a youthful acid line, flavours that mirror the bouquet and a fine oak and leesy quality. Youthful still so needs some cellar time with best drinking from late 2023 trough 2030."
Bob Campbell MW writes "From organic, dry-farmed vines. Selected from the best of three puncheons. It’s a rich, flavoursome chardonnay with a nice blend of fruit (peach, apple) and savoury (nutty yeast lees, spicy oak and oyster-shell) flavours."
The winery writes "Stonefruit and pineapple with a hint of nutmeg and floral notes of chamomile and jasmine. A delicate and mineral palate with flavours of lemon peel, dried papaya and beeswax. This wine will continue to develop rewarding flavour and bottle complexity with aging."
