Reviews and Ratings

This elegant Chardonnay has aromas of Granny Smith apples & honey notes. Melon & peach flavours arrive on the first blush in the mouth. Mineral & citrus notes come through on the finish. 20% of the grapes were aged in French oak barrels, which adds a nuance of richness in the mid palate & hints of vanilla & toast while the stainless portion brings on solid fruit & clean acidity.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
