Reserve Fromenteau
Original: The minerality shines through, typical of Tumbarumba, also exhibiting hint of melon and apple with a small buttery palate, supported by the integration of French oak.<\/p>\n
As of 29\/9\/26: Minerality, flint, buttery. Smooth, beautifully integrated French oak, good length.<\/p>\n
"Light to medium-yellow, bright colour. Fruit drives the wine, while there are herbal and slivered almond and raw cashew nut aromas, a note of candied lemon-peel. Some roasted nut nuances developed with time in the glass. The palate has intensity and weight without heaviness, and is deliciously aerial and moreish, with good length and great harmony. An invigorating chardonnay." - Huon Hooke, The Real Review<\/p>\n
"A mid straw gold and bright. While it has a certain power thanks to the Tumbarumba fruit and winemaking inputs, this holds its own. Ripe white stone fruit, lots of citrus and leesy flavours of grilled nuts and a smear of lemon curd and vanillan oak. It's full bodied and rich yet doesn't go overboard with the acidity cutting through it all." - Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion<\/p>\n
