Long-term followers of this pristine chardonnay will notice subtle changes in the style of the wine. While remaining entirely from the Piccadilly Valley, the change is mainly due to a different clonal mix. Admirable finesse, powerful perfumes of grapefruit, lime juice and cashews captured in an almost steely framework. More approachable when young but still with the capacity to age. Powerful and refined.

Released: April 2025

A silky textured, inwardly concentrated release with fresh nashi pear, red apple, light gingery spice elements, halva and brine as the mainstays of descriptors. The potency gives a sense of power but there's control and elegance here, too. A graceful, salivating white of medium to fuller weight with impeccable balance and length. It's a star.
