Sweet lime, slate, bright fresh white flowers. Lovely concentration and focus with a great backbone of acidity. Young, fresh and delicious.

Very bright and zippy lime and slate. Real drive and energy. Still very young but exhilarating.

Christmas white burg! 11s are really showing nicely. This one was sublime! It really began to express itself after about an hour. Minerally but with plenty of chassagne character. Yessss!

Youthful and focused. A lighter style then what you'd expect.

Digging this producer and this wine right now. Great balance with a strong acid backbone.

Possibly the best chardonnay I've tasted. Awesome and powerful nose loaded with tropical smells like pineapple, banana and melon. Lots of minerality, loaded with wet flint and crushed stone smells also intense buttery creamy vanilla and custard as well. The smells translate to the palate, however, there is a potent lemon element to add. Long buttery finish thats sure to please most. Amazing wine.
