Reviews

The 2020 Chardonnay No 33 bursts with ripe juicy pears, allspice, honey-drizzled peaches, and grapefruit oil notes, plus a suggestion of honeycomb. The medium to full-bodied palate shimmers with energy and tension, supported by a satiny texture and delivering vibrant citrus and stone fruit layers, finishing long and spicy.

An oaky, heady nose with loads of charm: black plums, black cherry, black tea, sage, gunflint. On the palate it makes a big impression, finishing with a dusting of velvety tannins. Youthful with lovely freshness.

Powerfully lifted black pepper, rose petal, red cherry, forest floor, liquorice, baking spice and herbal aromatics. Really complex, with polished fruits and oak spice on the palate. Watch this space.

Ultrasmooth in texture and quite chocolaty in flavor, this posh, opulent wine offers good cinnamon, mint and cedar accents over chocolate and raspberries that linger nicely on the finish. Drink from 2024

A measured, filigreed, fresh and delightful wine with peppery, liquorice, bay leaf and black olive aromatics. On the palate, there are juicy, dark fruits, well-integrated oak, lovely weight and sweet spice/dried floral notes. Everything is in place. The acidity is vital and the length exceptional.

Heavenly aromas of a summer garden in bloom. Rich, delectable flavours of black currants and juicy plums ooze over the tongue. Full of charming elegance. 

A well-balanced and precise offering delicately reflecting the land and the grapes. Dark, juicy fruit mixed with dried herbs and a creamy texture makes it a delight to drink.

 Buttery toast and butterscotch notes complement the core of peach, citrus and apple flavors with accents of spice and dried flowers on a supple frame. Drink now. 12,800 cases made.—M.W.
