In the zone. Crystaline, energetic and supple. Unwinding and showing potential to continue. It’s saline drive picking up and that thread of reduction is playing nicely with the wines unfurled fruit.

Continues to show powerful acidity. Very complex, mineral profile. Ceritas makes wonderful Chardonnay.

Great balance of zippy acidity with some richer notes. Could see this continuing to improve for another few years
