Wild-fermented and then treated to lightly toasted French oak, this is a secret weapon wine for those people who would like to drink a lighter style without too much pressure on them to go into raptures about what is in their glass. The vibrancy and freshness here make this an expressive wine and one which is well suited to a hot summer’s day leaving the more structured wines for cooler occasions!”</span></span></em></p> <p><em><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color:#FF0000;"><strong>93/100 James Suckling</strong></span><br /> “A fresh, white-peach, pear and lime nose leads to a palate that has a very rich, fleshy and flavorful feel. The intensity here is palpable, the freshness and zip really attractive.”</span></span></em></p> <p><em><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color:#FF0000;"><strong>93/100 Huon Hooke</strong></span><br /> “Top Rank &amp; Top Value: This is a delicate chardonnay but that doesn’t mean it’s simple. It has lots of character and a touch of richness, is intense and medium-full bodied. The pleasingly detailed bouquet incorporates some smoky barrel-derived nuances.”</span></span></em></p> <p><em><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color:#FF0000;"><strong>93/100 Toni Paterson MW</strong></span><br /> “Wine of the Week &amp; Top Rank: An impressive wine, full and complete, with lovely complexity.

The palate possesses some of the same characteristics, with the addition of a flinty aspect. It's a generous mix of crisp and clippy acidity with a phenolic edge, adding width to length.”</span></span></em></p> <p><span style="color:#FF0000;"><strong><em><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">91/100 Jeremy Oliver</span></span></em></strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color:#FF0000;"><strong><em>90/100 Din VinGuide </em></strong></span><br /><em>"Moden fersken i duften.
