"Bright and lemony, with lemon cream and citrus zest, plus accents of tangerine and mango. There's an appealingly firm, almost chalky note that gives the flavors a fleshy quality. Orange blossom, ginger and vetiver details linger on the finish. Drink now. 2,296 cases made.‡M.W."

"Mineral- and citrus-driven nose with fresh aromas of lime pith, orange blossoms and grapefruit rind. The palate is medium-bodied with high-tension acidity, showing notes of mandarins, jasmine and salt brine. Fermented in stainless steel tanks and then aged in old French oak barrels for six months. Drink or hold."

"Brilliant and mineral; an elegant, bright-eyed wine marked with tangy Asian pear and tangerine flavours and a lingering saline finish. Vinified in stainless steel and matured just six months in neutral French oak, this freshly balanced Chardonnay sourced from Hanzell's younger vines (averaging 15 years) is a lovely expression of sheer, unadorned youth."
