"The first Colmar Estate chardonnay to display the Reserve label, and it's clear only the best barrels were chosen. One-third new French oak puncheons. Wildly exotic, the wine showcases perfectly ripe white nectarine, lily of the valley, Meyer lemon sorbet and greek yoghurt. Fine sand, triple-cream brie and oyster mushroom, there are layers upon layers to unpack. Deep-seated natural acidity is delicate, with the texture of fine lace on the palate. Superb. 96 points." Shanteh Wale, Halliday

"Aromas of white stone fruit, white flowers, grapefruit pith and mineral. Full flavoured, layered and complex, and there’s a drive of fleshy fruit and nutty oak. Plenty to like here." Aaron Brasher, The Real Review.

"The progress of chardonnay in the Orange region is impossible to ignore. This wine clearly demonstrates the great steps the variety has taken. Intensity, texture and balance are at the forefront of this exceptional regional white. ★★★★★" Winewise

"Scents of caramelised peaches rise up early but move to vanilla slice, raw cashews and custard powder. A concentration of lemon juice and lemon zest … on the mid-palate. Wonderfully balanced, this is smart gear indeed. Drink to eight years. 94/100." Steve Leszczynski, Qwine
