It picks up plenty of texture and richness to underscore the stone fruit and slightly butterscotch palate. The keen, bright natural acidity adds further lift, complemented by a subtle buttery character. An appealing wine.

Russ Gallagher - Vino Masters
Pale straw with green highlights. The aroma is super fragrant revealing white peach, straw, nectarine and citrus with hints of flint and subtle oak. The palate is medium-bodied and finely structured, offering fruit of white peach, lemon rind and nectarine supported by crisp acidity and a fine mineral line. A beautiful creamy texture with solid oak integration and cashew richness build complexity through the mid-palate, finishing long and clean. Its balance and precision are a stand out. ★★★★★ Super expressive Chardonnay with powerful flavours. Drink now to 2030

This has consistently been a very good wine for Monty’s Leap, and with winemaker Brendan Smith involved, it will continue to be refined. It’s barrel fermented, creating quite a rich style, and then further time in new oak, in fact for up to 12 months, has added to its palate complexity, texture and richness. There’s a nice cashew and spicy cinnamon-like character on the nose, and the palate, while textured and creamy, is held with nice restraint and focus by that crisp acidity and a slightly lemony edge. A terrific wine from Albany in the Great Southern.

This is a flavoursome chardonnay with peach, butter, honeysuckle and cream flavours sizzling through the palate. It has a smoothness to its texture and good volume of flavour; creamy, cashew-y overtones then add positively to the overall impression. For all this, it remains fresh and has some zip.
