From the "close to perfect" 2023 vintage, the Reserve Chardonnay is a cracker!
Characteristically elegant, with ripe pineapple, pear and apricot on the nose and a smooth, creamy palate.
Nine months in a variety of new, one & two year old French barrels enhances the complexity and texture.
Finishing with rich notes of buttered toast and popcorn...what's not to like?
BTW this is a Vegan wine, it is unfiltered and unfined- minimal intervention and all totally plant (in fact grape) based.
I like to have a bit of fun with this wine. Exactly what proportion of grapes I use changes, depending on the season and the year.....I'm so excited that the 2022 vintage is a straight Grenache, as often I end up blending it with a bit of Shiraz to fill in the mid palate.
The 2022 vintage is floral and bursting with raspberry, redcurrant and mocha leading to a sumptuous, long, dry finish. Try this blend slightly chilled, it is great with the lighter food we eat during the warmer months, of course you can settle in on the couch with your favourite pizza.

No need to with this vintage- the straight Grenache looks sensational
The 2023 vintage is floral and bursting with raspberry, redcurrant and mocha leading to a sumptuous, long, dry finish. Try this blend slightly chilled, it is great with the lighter food we eat during the warmer months.
Of course you could settle in on the couch with your favourite pizza & a glass or two of this.
