Not my preferred style of Chardonnay but intriguing nonetheless. Very very pale colour with a nose of lemon curd. Very acidic on the palate with the faintest whiff of oak and Malo cream. I read that this vineyard was originally planted for sparkling wine and it is reminiscent of a blanc de blancs style with lots of acidity and minerality. Originally $60 Canadian, which is too much, but marked down to $35, excellent value at that price if you’re fond of Chablis style, cool climate chard. — 8 years ago

Strawberry shortcake with enough tannins to cut the sweetness. More cake than strawberry. Minerals. Cantaloupe. Really cool, really good — 9 years ago

Pretty medium garnet color, vibrant acidity and bright fresh berry character. No jamminess or white pepper here, just delicious fruit and 12.5% abv. Seductive in its appeal. Well judged oak that never intrudes on the fruit. Dekicious and a benchmark in cool climate shiraz — 9 years ago

Mature cool climate Chardonnay. Penfolds Whites are starting to gain the reputation of their illustrious Red offering. After 6 years funk is replacing the Flint of a few years ago. Nice stone fruit notes and long. Enjoyable. — 9 years ago

So different than its other Pax siblings. Cool climate, 12% ABV. Incredible florals jump from the nose, with a savory N Rhone-ish palate. — 10 years ago

Full of life. So fresh, cool, crisp, with those poultry notes that make it very food friendly. I still prefer trout gulch and appreciate the more mineral side of things over there for this producer, this is like the contrast. Not to be overlooked but definitely completely different. — 9 years ago

A chalky, limestone, hint of lemon and mint on the nose. Lovely restrained cool fruit with great polish and body. Such clarity. I really like 06's — 9 years ago

So surprising for a hot climate wine! No lack of acidity here! Rich texture, fascinating. Some of the oldest genetic material vilified! Own rootstock, look up a picture of the trellising. Not much else like this! — 10 years ago

Serve cool NOT cold to make the acid POP.
My guys say.... Lighter bodied dry white. Drinks reminiscent of a fine) fino sherry with a light briney nutty flavor (salted nutz? :) and a squeeze of lemon. Roasted fish, octopus, saganaki. — 11 years ago
