The considerable winemaking talents of Andrew Spinaze fashioned this outstanding example of racy Chardonnay - brilliant bright straw green colour, fascinating nose of gunflint, struck match, apple cider, slightly oily, lightly charred French oak, complimentary green fruits of guava and honey-dew melon, grilled cashew and a flinty minerality suspiciously reminiscent of a very fine Mersault and the steeliness of a Grand Cru Chablis. The palate paints an almost identical canvas - tightly coiled, well focussed and mealy with attractive green melon and guava underpinned with attractive oily/lightly toasted/nutty oak and very fine integrated indelible acidity. Finishes long and crisp with mouth-quenching, crunchy apple- and citrus-laden acidity. Good cellaring prospect. Drink 2007-2012+. 13.1% A/V. Sealed with a cork closure. 92 points
