"The best chardonnay I've tried in years" - Mac Macpherson, Advintage Owner.
PREMIUM SINGLE VINEYARD CHARDONNAY. INDIVIDUALLY NUMBERED BOTTLES.

FIVE STARS 96/100 | Sam Kim, Wine Orbit - "Harmonious and structured with creamy mouthfeel. Excellent depth and persistence."
95/100 'Outstanding' | Cameron Douglas MS - "Fantastic bouquet"

In the words of Mac, this is an "absolute banger" and "the best chardonnay I've tried in years". High praise, but one sip and you’ll understand why.

Crafted from handpicked single vineyard fruit, this release is loaded with all the hallmarks of serious chardonnay. Wild fermented, 100% malolactic fermentation, individually numbered bottles, and striking modern labels that stand out as much as the wine inside. Rich, layered and beautifully textured, it already drinks incredibly well as a young wine, but there’s no doubt it will reward patience and evolve brilliantly with age.

This is a seriously standout chardonnay with all the bells and whistles, with only 840 bottles produced. This comes with our very highest recommendation.

Tasting Notes

Sam Kim, Wine Orbit writes "Gorgeously complex and enticing, the wine showcases ripe peach, rockmelon, vanilla, lemon sorbet, and biscotti aromas, followed by a concentrated palate offering excellent depth and persistence. Harmonious and structured with a creamy mouthfeel, finishing impressively long and structured. At its best: now to 2035."
Cameron Douglas MS writes"Fantastic bouquet, new, ripe, original, detailed and inviting. Aromas and flavours pink apple and grapefruit, white fleshed pomaceous fruits with a distinctive leesy complexity and flinty core then layers of complexity from older barrel and perhaps a small % of new. There’s a gentle creaminess and urgency from acidity and youthful appeal with pure fruit flavours. Lengthy and complex, balanced and well made with best drinking from day of purchase through 2031+."
