Awards/Ratings
Burghound: 91 (reviewed June 2021). Retail tasting notes note youthful reduction that benefits from aeration. (Various merchants list similar region/critic scores)

Tasting Note
White flowers, lemon zest, pear and ripe stone-fruit with toasted-hazelnut oak, chalky minerality and a saline lift. Rich mid‑palate balanced by bright acidity and a long, slightly saline finish.

Food Pairing
Western: roasted scallops, lobster with beurre blanc, roast chicken in cream sauce, mushroom risotto. Asian: miso-glazed black cod, Cantonese steamed fish, richer sushi (otoro/uni), Chinese-style braised pork belly.

Production Method
Hand-harvested Chardonnay; vinified with careful oak influence, élevage in French oak barrels (reports vary ~10–16 months) with roughly 30% new (some sources report up to 40%), lees ageing and restrained SO2.
