James Halliday Winery of the Year 2026

"Light-mid yellow, bright and clear with a tint of green. Very fresh, vibrant citrusy aromas with a trace of smoky struck-flint reduction, happily restrained. The wine is tremendously intense in the mouth, concentrated and powerful, with scintillating vitality thanks to its acidity and brightness of fruit. Gorgeous lemon juice, grapefruit pith, citron and subtle chamomile aromas. It has outstanding line and length, refinement allied with intensity, fruit leading the charge and any artifact characters well in the background. It appears to have great potential for development with time. A stunning chardonnay. " 97 Points  The Real Review,
