"Such a distinctive wine. Dash Farms expresses its own DNA, adding extra appeal, yet the wine still comes out all citrusy and savoury, spicy and nutty, a little creamy and refreshing. It’s a chardonnay that takes in texture and detail with freshness and vibrancy, with the acidity driving it, but not at the expense of flavour or palate weight. Stone fruit comes through, along with ginger and woodsy spices, a little cedar and turmeric. It’s moreish and lingers; all up a very satisfying drink."

"This has quite a bit of richness, slippery texture, green apple, green mango, a touch of ripe nectarine with nougat, almond butter, liquid cinnamon and light terracotta notes with a slip of sizzled butter in there too. It’s got form and depth, a pleasing texture, a gentle sense of minerality, great sticking length and a sense of power. In some respects it’s a bit more of a relaxed wine, and feels a bit slow, if you get my drift. A pleasurable wine, a hedonist’s wine, feels a bit forward, but let’s see what happens in coming years too. Quite a lot of complexity here, but perhaps the energy is taking it off the pace a little."
