95/100 Sam Kim

This is splendidly composed and enticing on the nose with apricot, rockmelon, lemon peel and spicy oak aromas with nuances of brioche and cashew. The palate delivers awesome concentration and structure, enhanced by creamy texture and multi-layered mouthfeel, finishing long and engaging. At its best: 2022 to 2030.

/100 The Real Review

From Australia's most distinguished vineyards and winemakers.

The Apollonian theory of Greek mythology entwines two seemingly opposite philosophical elements of the gods and brothers Apollo and Dionysus to create a complete and complex entity. Order and chaos, purity and excess, harmony and passion. Entwined by nature they are at their best when together. The vineyard, the winemaker, the vintage and the moment create the experience.

A lifted bouquet of mandarin peal and lemon curd leap from the glass with graphite and struck match adding layers of complexity. Creamy and textured this Chardonnay’s purity of flavour is well balanced with succulent acidity which is typical of the vintage. This wine has plenty of nerve and energy complemented by impressive length.

Hand-picked, whole bunch pressed, full solids and wild fermentation in barrique (approx. 25% new). Post ferment, barrels are left cool but unsulphured for 4 months to encourage autolytic activity. Batonnage every two weeks based on flavour and partial MLF. Wine was racked with full lees to tank in December and spent two months on lees in tank before bottling unfiltered.
