See previous notes here in 2018 and 2019. An excellent Chardonnay but probably prefer the Applejack and Sexton Vineyards for Chardonnay.

Aromas of struck match and smoke (or is it from the bushfires in the hinterland of the Gold Coast at the moment)? On the palate citrussy lime and lemon with a fuller texture of medium intensity. Personally I prefer the Applejack vineyard of the individual vineyards at Giant Steps for Chardonnay . Tarraford vineyard good for Syrah.

Some citrus and peach aromas with a note of nougat. Pale in colour belies the intensity on the palate of this marvellous Chardonnay. Lovely balance and length. Great QPR even at $50 - tastes like a $100 Chardonnay. Delicious with a good future.
