So this is our David’s chardonnay and I am happy to report that it is a beautiful wine. I thought about it for a bit and decided not to give it a points based score, just a word based one, as some might consider it a conflict of interest - however small that may be.

Aromas of citrus, melon, spicy cashew oak and matchstick with wild yeasty overtones. On the palate it is tight and fine with grapefruit and melon flavours backed with attractive spicy French oak and some savoury lees derived characters. Slightly creamy but very fresh and clean. Long savoury citrus finish. A very classy wine with nothing out of place. Tasted over two days it looked great right to the last sip.
