Understated chardonnay; appealing rock melon and red apple fruit supported by a whisper of oak and an attractive silky texture. Not a blockbuster but nicely balanced and very appealing.

Soft and flavoursome chardonnay with feijoa, guava and white peach fruit flavours supported by subtle oak and nutty yeast lees characters. An appealing wine offering value at this price.

Light to medium yellow colour, with a buttery, complex, toasty nutty bouquet, very classic chardonnay. A hint of grapefruit. The palate is rich and medium to full, round and supple, with a trace of tannin grip on the aftertaste. Oak has been well-handled. A generous mouthful of chardonnay for the money.
