Precise, minerally and laser focused with a lovely hint of reduction, giving aromas of salty lemon peel, grapefruit, pie crust, nectarines and flint. The palate is tightly wound with a medium-bodied mouthfeel and a creamy yet energetic and bright palate, showing flavors of white peaches, pomelo and nectarines. A tightly wound and bright wine that will evolve nicely over time. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

The cool and generous rainfall in the growing season led to drier than average conditions in the lead up to vintage, providing fragrantly scented yellow flowers for the introduction of the 2024 vintage. Marigold, Azalea and Honeysuckle. Paper edges caught alight with blue flame, some crushed river stone and white peach. This is decidedly delicate but with the notable magnetism that is M3. The wine moves with a stir of creamed bran, fennel seed and lemon pulp citrus. Its tension teetotallers between succulent acidity and the toasted sesame and cracked kernel oak elements. Its once again, bold and full of razzle dazzle but with all the class and finer details nicely tucked perfectly in place. Creamy Risotto di Go (If you happen to know a Venetian) or white fish risotto would make for a stunning pairing. Drink now or will while a way in the cellar for 3-6 years further.

A fine, flinty, tense and taut chardonnay set to a leaner expression. Still, it dials in enough peachy fruit, tart citrus freshness and lithe nougat notes, with touches of green herb and cinnamon spice in tow. That reads like a good and long list, and it is. The wine offers drinkers a more refreshing, fine expression, with minerality as a byword. Very polished, too. Neat.

This is a fine-boned kind of restrained style, though it’s not without flavour. I like the flinty texture, subtle application of spicy oak, and overall balance it has. There’s some peach and lemon verbena, grapefruit, lime rind, green olive maybe and cashew nuts, with a bright and crunchy finish of good length. Nice wine, though you have to like them on the leaner water-coloured side of the Chardonnay spectrum. Ideally needs a little more time in bottle. 93+
