'Bright medium-light yellow colour with a malt, nougat and almond-paste bouquet, the palate rich and deep with a superb array of flavours, lemon, grapefruit, various nuts and some subtle smoky flinty notes. The palate has high energy and great intensity, line and length, the texture seamless and the wine has gravitas. A stunning chardonnay. ' 97 Points - Huon Hooke - Real review<br>'This wine is the result of a friendship between Steve Flamsteed and Brad Rogers that has been going for, well, decades. They’ve bought a vineyard in the Coal River Valley in southern Tasmania. This is the second vintage release.<br>This is a wine of power and length but finesse is its main calling card. It’s ultra fine boned. It tastes of lemon, thistles, white peach, almond cream, hay and honey, with a finish that tastes like bacon and cream in a pan seeded with fennel. Its texture, throughout, is like satin. I tasted this wine through the course of an afternoon and it barely budged, though sunshine did creep up over the horizon; cool, modest, sure, blue-light in with the yellow. We’re in elite territory here. Drinking this is like being invited to the birth of someone or something special. I’d call this wine an example of decades of expertise but really it’s a grape variety in a deeply southern landscape that’s been beautifully and sensitively caught.’ - Campbell Mattinson - Wine Front
