Description
"A new vineyard for us in 2024, the St James vineyard sits just below Mount Lofty in the heart of Piccadilly. True to style, this wine has the classic Piccadilly power and flair along with citrus, melons, ripe fruit a hint of new oak and impressive acid.. a complete package and the reason this part of the hills is often referred to as the Grand Cru section." - Winemaker Notes
"This is flashy yet refined, with aromas of struck match, grilled lemons, slate and salted nuts. The palate is textural and mid-weighted, with fine-boned acidity and a plush texture. A refined and pure expression of Piccadilly chardonnay. Drink or hold." - 96 Points, James Suckling
"This is both a rich release and a release that needs some extra time – to integrate further, as much as anything. It’s going to be stellar in a few years. It tastes of white and yellow peach, tonic water, cedarwood oak and toast, with spearmint, salted chalk and crushed rock characters in the mix too. The mouthfeel of this wine and the power of fruit are both of emphatic note. There’s some glory to this chardonnay." - 95 Points, Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front
