Melanie Lloyd rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

This Chardonnay has mineral notes on the nose as well as aromas of poached apple, lemon, hints of peach and almond. On the palate, it is full bodied, creamy and has fresh acidity. It has peach, pineapple and lemon flavours with subtle notes of vanilla.

Colin McKone rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Pale straw in colour with aromas of green apple, pear, vanilla, butter and lemon. The pear, apple, lemon and creamy flavours follow through on the palate. This Chard is full bodied with crisp acidity and a creamy finish and will pair well with poultry or seafood.

Cherie Cole rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Buttery, biscuit with vanilla, coconut and a hint of smoke on the nose which translates to a buttery caramel apple on the palate. Full-bodied and creamy mouthfeel. Tasted July 24, 2016

Jacky Blisson rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Overt, heady aromas of poached pear, buttered corn, citrus and peaches feature on the nose. Rich and generous, with a creamy, layered texture and broad structure. The toasty, crême brulée scented oak is prominent, yet well integrated.

Craig Kuziemsky rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Apple and vanilla aromas with pear, vanilla and toasted almond appearing on the palate. Nice acidity and finishes with a creamy texture.

David Skinner rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Light gold. Spice, pineapple and apples are supported by hints of toast on the nose. Pear, lemon, butterscotch and slight minerality on the palate. Crisp acidity and a lingering finish.

This would be nice with chicken and herbs served with a roasted pineapple chutney.
