We caught up with Simon Fell, to try this one.\u00a0A medium cerise colour in the glass \u2013 notably lighter than many Central Pinots of 2018, it does however present a very savoury and lifted aroma of cloves, and an earthy allspice. Bright and juicy with a sweet-fruited palate of plums and cherry, threaded with a line of silky tannins. Light chocolatey layer and then a warm velvety cocoon of oak.

Hints of struck match and a cashew and smokiness in the mix, the palate delves into that blend of fig, melon and citrus that the warmer climate (or warm growing years) Chardonnays deliver. It has a great texture and a real creaminess that turns the citrus into lemon curd, and the stonefruit into peach melba. Only light nuances of oak, and the acidity is well balanced into the elegant and full bodied balance overall. It has a nice finish of sweet fruit and candied peel.
