Critics Ratings
'Savoury on the nose and extremely burgundian. So composed. Such balance. Everything in its place. Almost the weight of a burgundy grand cru. Smashing! Great crystalline structure with massive fruit in the middle. Still some chew on the end.' - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 18.5/20 (Sept 2018)
'The 2014 Maté's Vineyard Chardonnay has a riveting, brilliantly defined bouquet of oyster shell, citrus peel and apple blossom, all very penetrating and focused. The palate is well balanced with superbly pitched acidity and well-integrated oak. There is real depth and persistence to this Chardonnay, yet there is also an effortless feel, as if it knows how good it is. World-class stuff.' - Neal Martin, Vinous, 95/100 (Feb 2019)
