Epis 2023 ChardonnayThe nose is immediately complex and very vibrant. It is initially floral, nutty and spicy. Then aromas of grapefruit, nectarine and cream appear. The palate is fresh, energetic, textured, mouth filling, harmonious and very long. It will improve for seven plus years when carefully cellared and has a long life ahead of it. It is up there with the best Chardonnays (since the inaugural 1994) grown on this special site, which is fitting for the 30th

with another five years this Pinot Noir will develop further intensity and complexity and live well for a decade

one of the best Cabernet I have made

harmonious and very long

The cool season origins give the brightness and intensity and the wine opens and reveals increased texture and fruit complexity over a few days

and I reckon

mint and dried herbs

mouth filling

This is a beautifully fragrant wine

As history has proven

It's rich and textural and will undoubtably age well

This wine will still improve with further cellaring and is a classic cool climate Cabernet that will reward over time
