Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

A little different for a Chardonnay! Floral and quite fragrant, aromas of white rose, pear, honey and warm spice. Dry with bright acidity, and a slightly spicy finish. Enjoy with fish or chicken dishes.
Novellum 2017 Chardonnay is a medium-plus-bodied, dry Chardonnay with lemon curd, toasted nut, ginger and nutmeg spice flavours on the palate. Finishing with briny mineral flavours on the palate. Delightful. Chill and enjoy now and for the next three years. - Community Wine Reviews

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.
