Pale colour. Fresh white peach, oyster shell, flinty aromas with yeasty savoury oak nuances. Palate is concentrated with white peach, white apricot flavours, savoury vanilla oak notes, fine chalky touch al-dente textures and long crunchy acidity. Elegantly proportioned wine with underlying savoury oak notes. Crunchy almost searing acid cut. Made for the long haul. Needs a few years to build bottle age complexity. An elegantly styled Chardonnay leaning towards austere. Outstanding but for avid followers of the genre. 2018-2025

...Tasted alongside the Tumbarumba Chardonnay of the same vintage this seems fleshier; the fruit sweeter. Pears, dripping with juice. Toast. Meal. Metal. Gingery lifts to the finish. Grapefruit and apples run away with the finish. Theres no question this is a very fine wine. Custard apples and flint. So much going on. The white wines of Penfolds are a grand journey nowadays.
