Voss Expert tasting note
Displaying a luminous straw hue, the Magistrate Chardonnay opens with an aromatic bouquet of ripe stone fruits, notably peach and apricot, interwoven with subtle nuances of honeysuckle and toasted almond.

Product that's a bit of an enigma, marketed as a 'one off.' It's a decent effort, with some oak and tropical fruit notes, but the mid-palate and aftertaste are a bit disjointed. It's a fine wine for its price, but it's not a superb in any way.
Ermonel
Aromas of pear and minerals in the nose. A flavor of ripe pear unfolds, followed by a brief burst of lemon zest. The aftertaste is described by juicy, ripe pear and a undertone of honey sweetness. The freshness of lemon zest provides a welcome brightness, preventing the wine from becoming too one-dimensional. This wine does not exhibit any oak influences. Overall, it is a charming and drinkable option. It will be enjoyed again.
Eling
Well blended blend of citrus and pear, tempered by a soft zing, and enriched with a undertone of mineral undertones.

Magistrate Chardonnay offers a mix of tropical fruit, citrus, and mineral notes. Some find it well-balanced with a soft finish, while others note a disjointed mid-palate. Oak influence varies by vintage, with some lacking it entirely. It's praised for its affordability and drinkability, though not considered exceptional. Overall, a decent choice for everyday sipping with a charming profile.
Displaying a luminous straw hue, the Magistrate Chardonnay opens with an aromatic bouquet of ripe stone fruits, notably peach and apricot, interwoven with subtle nuances of honeysuckle and toasted almond. On the palate, this wine reveals a full-bodied texture, underscored by a precise balance of vibrant acidity and creamy oak integration. The mid-palate is enriched with layers of lemon curd and a hint of minerality, leading to a lingering finish marked by a whisper of vanilla and a touch of saline. This Chardonnay exemplifies a harmonious blend of New World opulence and Old World finesse, ideal for immediate enjoyment.
