Critics Ratings

'Complex and deep, 2018 over-delivers with lovely honeysuckle, stonefruit and citrus notes perfectly paired with immaculate oaking (21% new, 5% of wine unwooded). Pithy texture and creamy mouthfeel satisfy through to the last mouthful. A little more new wood on 2017 (4.5 stars, 93 pts).' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2020, 5* (95/100)

'The crop was tiny in 2018 - half of the normal yield, according to Emul Ross - but the quality and style of this celebrated Chardonnay is as good as ever. Fermented in amphorae and 29% new oak barrels, with 40% malolactic, it's elegant, savoury and oatmealy. Citrus rather than stone fruit flavours predominate on the palate. 2020-26.' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2019, 95/100
