Alison Buchanan: Shimmering gold in color, this presents honeyed citrus and stone fruit on the nose, with floral and pastry notes adding to the complexity. The palate is ripe and creamy, with some mineral contrast. Something of a contradiction, though there are rich and lean characters in layers. 14.5

Stephen Brook: Bright exotic nose, with a whiff of pineapple; has aromatic charm. Fresh, clean, lively, with welcome acidity and lift. Quite concentrated and oaky, but has plenty of drive and a dash of minerality. Plenty of ripe fruit, but it’s balanced and stylish and would be a pleasure to drink. Perhaps a hint of sweetness on the finish, but not enough to throw the wine off balance. Quite good length. 17

Oz Clarke: Quite bright green-gold. Attractive style. Reasonably full, pleasantly balanced, and nutty. Some attractive porridge-oat dustiness and a little smoky spice. Good texture, good balance. This isn’t the most ambitious of Chardonnays, but so what? It’s a very attractive, balanced style. 16.5
