‘It’s tight and crunchy, but it’s also saline and savoury, offers some ginger and spice, green apple and white nectarine, some nutty richness, with a flinty/stony lemon drizzled finish of excellent length. Distinctive style, and quite ‘Chablis-like’ to trot out that old trope. Very very good. ‘ 94pts Gary Walsh, The Wine Front

‘It shows lovely varietal character, with lemon, straw and peach in the primary realm, and some smoke and nuttiness from bottle age. The real magic is on the palate – it’s silky and bright, with immense mineral zing throughout the mouth, hence the name. It’s the sort of wine you can happily drink on a Friday or Saturday night on the couch in your PJs, or in a classy restaurant with some cheese or seafood.’ 93pts Brendan Black - Wine Pilot

Upper Yarra Valley Chardonnay (I10V5) from the excellent Bulong Vineyard (Yarra Junction), a gentle south facing slope grown on grey clay loam soils. Harvested in late February, fruit was gently pressed to tank to settle. Following a light racking, juice is naturally fermented in neutral French barriques. Rested on fine lees for 9 months with bâtonnage. MLF in some barrels. No additions beyond sulfur.
