94 points - Light gold. Tinges of chicken stock, savoury with dried herb. Interesting palate with lots of complexity and flavour interplay. Acidity fencing with the oak. Medium bodied and length. Fine and elegant. Interesting to drink.

94 points - Slight mineral and peach nose. Great balance. And quite some maturity. Drinking nicely. Just the right weight, caramel and marzipane notes.

2014 Cloudburst Chardonnay

93 points - Minerals and pineapple/grapefruit greet the nose. Clean with just the perfect amount of oak. Not in your face at all, there is elegance. Medium to light weight. Hints of butter caramel.

2013 Cloudburst Chardonnay

2015-08-20T10:04:47Z

93 points - Light gold. Fragrant musky and complex nose, subtle and elegant. Lovely weight and texture again, even more intense and concentrated, a bit worked perhaps but very well constructed. Lots of creamy texture.

2014 Cloudburst Chardonnay

2015-08-20T09:58:24Z

93 points - Light gold. Musky, complex, roasted nutty aromas, pungent. Very intense, great fruit weight, presence on the palate. Delicious although quite winemaker-ly. Well balanced with a fine structure, soft and ample on the palate. Oak tinged.

2013 Cloudburst Chardonnay

90 points - More peachy nose than the 2014. A bit bland and slightly broad on the palate. Not my favourite, but lots of people will like it.
