Jeremy Oliver 93 Points!"Lifted by a fragrance of white flowers and elicate aromas of grapfuit and melon backed by fresh vanilla oak and hints of cloves, this pure, brightly lit chardonnay is fresh and youthful. Its vibrant, crystalline presence of citrus and stonefruit is backed by sweet oak and supported by a fine, dusty mouthfeel. It finishes with tangy, lemony acids, a hint of minerality and a lingering core of fruit."
Jeremy Oliver, The Wine Annual 2011
"An intense, mineral wine fully ripe but lean, taught and intense with savory, creamy elements. Fragrant notes of orange blossom, nectarine stone, spice and subtle nuttiness are usual with a vibrant, tight, long palate highlighted by clean acidity, wonderful texture and fine length.
The Composition Chardonnay is grown in a 1.5 hectare plot. The wine is fermented in French barrels of which typically 20% are new. Some barrels are inoculated with cultured yeast; others are fermented without yeast addition. The fermented wine is lees stirred every week over winter and the wine is given around one quarter malo-lactic conversion. It is racked around eight months after vintage, and returned to barrel for a further three months before bottling.
The nose is bright in lemon, orange blossom, mineral, fresh pear and spice. The palate is tangy, fresh, tight
and intense. There are mealy, lees elements giving fullness and texture which, with the bright acidity in harmony with the fruit, gives the wine drive and length. This wine has a beautiful overall balance of brightness and textural depth. This wine will benefit from around four years cellaring to gain complexity and richness."
