A really fragrant nose of matchstick, roasted almonds, toasted herbs and grilled lemons. Medium-to full-bodied with great, oily texture and weight. So much depth here. Big presence, but really precise. Warm citrus and a hint of savory spice. Phenolic. Delicious wine. Needs time to soften. Try after 2025.

Coche-Dury fans will love this 2020 Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard, which turns up the volume and expression of the characteristically tensile, flinty Chardonnay from Hyde Vineyard. Opening with tones of struck match, it takes plenty of time in the glass to unfurl its concentrated white peach, apricot, lime peel, baking spice and pie crust aromas. The palate offers a fantastically satiny texture, seamless acidity and a tremendously long finish.

Intense, vibrant and sublime, with grilled lemon and crushed rock minerality, notes of salted lime, Honeycrisp apple, lemon curd and a touch of dried pineapple lingering at the core. Reveals elegant grace notes of salted butter pastry and cardamom, with vibrant, mouthwatering acidity. Epic finish. Drink now through 2030. 600 cases made.
