Critics Ratings
'Aromas of 2016 hint with vanilla at the assimilating 40% new oak; orange & tangerine assert the ripe fruit plenitude, with oatmeal & peach. Rich, powerful even, but with serious structuring acidity. Oak adding to complexity of lingering finish. Fine successor to gorgeous 2015 (4.5 stars, 94 pts)' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2018, 5* (95/100)
'Four different clones go into this impressive Chardonnay (the three Deconstructed ones, plus clone 76). Citrus fruit and aniseed aromas segue into a palate that combines orange peel and peach with toasty oak and a taut, mineral-edged core of acidity. Mr Kershaw has the Chardonnay touch. 2018-23 '- Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2017, 94/100
