Critics Ratings

'The 2013 Clonal Selection Elgin Chardonnay is a wonderful wine and perhaps better than the 2012. It has a very subtle bouquet with apple blossom, lemon zest and coconut scents that are wonderfully delineated. The palate is still showing a little new oak, though that will be absorbed with time. It is pure and balanced, very refined with an almost Burgundy-like finish.' – Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, 92/100 (Nov 2015)

'This Chardonnay hits all the right marks, as toasty oak influence is coupled seamlessly with ripe fruit tones and balancing acidity. Gorgeous scents of yellow apple, melon and honeysuckle transition through to the medium-weight palate, where they are met by attractive oak spice tones, a subtle tannic texture and refreshing acidic lift. The finish is long and evolving, and this should drink well through 2020.' – Lauren Buzzeo, Wine Enthusiast, 92/100 (May 2017)

'Quite a funky spontaneous fermentation nose. Good weight and balance with a hint of citrus peel and real growth on the finish. A long-term wine. Precision-tooled.' – Jancis Robinson, JancisRobinson.com, 16.5/20 (Jan 2015)
