A more restrained version of Chardonnay when compared to the Rebel of the same year. Fruit comes across as apple, peach pit and slightly smoky – there’s even a hint of pineapple that adds an extra layer of delicious fruit; the fruit to acid to spice ratio is really on point and creates a delightful balance. This is one of those wines to be enjoyed through the course of an evening, as you watch it develop and open. Price: $29.95 – Rating: ****
