A revisit of a wine that I first tasted back in 2024 – \u2018Cumulus\u2019 is a white wine made from a blend of two varietals \u2013 80% Chardonnay and 20% Viognier. A pale lemon-green colour in the glass. The aromas are very appealing, taking a little from both varieties, with the Chardonnay naturally dominating. There is a peppery, seedy element that is intriguing, and adds to the bright citrus, apricot and peach fruit flavours, as well as an elderflower floral note. I don\u2019t see much oak influence, with the structure more reliant on the buoyant acidity and an \u2018al dente\u2019 prickle of fruit tannin to set the tone. Then there is the key texture that swells through the palate – plush and succulent. It would be a great food wine and I like it just as much as I did on release – 92pts<\/b>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
