Tasting Notes

You should approach these wines in reverse number order because KC1 is, without a doubt, the most serious wine of the trio.

This wine has a perfume and flavour that set my palate alight. I have never tasted a Chardonnay quite like this, as it is so loaded with crushed seashells and nerve-tingling freshness it rearranges your central nervous system while romancing your taste buds in a spellbinding fashion.

Firm, statuesque, and with stellar length, the fruit is so commanding that oak nuance is nowhere to be seen. This apparent barrel invisibility is so clever because it allows the fruit the chance to revel in the spotlight, showing every inch of its undoubted quality.

If this is what they can do with their very first vintage, I can see I will have to dig deep in my score pouch in search of a perfect number before too long!
