Critics Ratings

'We want our Chardonnays to last,' says Gordy Newton Johnson, and this one certainly will. Made with grapes from three sites - two north- and one south-facing, this is a very complete, balanced wine, with 30% new wood, citrus, oatmeal and cinnamon spice flavours, pithy acidity, a drizzle of cream and commendable palate length. Drink 2022-27.' – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2021, 95/100

‘The 2020 Chardonnay shows good intensity on the nose, where grilled walnut and touches of smoke infuse the lemon zest and Granny Smith apple scents. The palate is very well balanced with fine depth and good weight and presence. Dried honey and orange peel mingle with a touch of bitter lemon toward the finish. This should age well in bottle. 2021-2032’ – Neal Martin, Vinous, 92/100 (Jul 2021)
