The 2020 is evolving beautifully, following a similar trajectory to the spectacular 2019 vintage. It offers aromas of green apple and pear, with a finish of toasted almond. Full-bodied with a satisfying finish.

Chardonnay food pairings: grilled chicken, fish and chips, creamy pasta dishes.

Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Tasted in 2023 next to the 2019, this wine has a little more tart fruit, and a tiny bit creamier on the palate, but overall just as lovely and enjoyable. Aromas of apple and pear, with a slightly nutty hint and a touch of salinity. Medium bodied, smooth and soft, with tart fruit punched up with acidity and then softened with hints of honey and hazelnuts. Lovely! Enjoy with a classic herb-roasted chicken.
