Lifted aromas of toasted cashew nut, melon, white peach, gun flint and a squeeze of pink grapefruit. Dry, evident acidity with a rich flavour profile of grapefruit, cucumber and white stonefruit aptly supported by the spicy French oak. The wine has complexity, balance and a long finish.

Handpicked at optimum ripeness. A textual mineral palate from partial fermentation in seasoned French oak and extended lees contact. The cool climate acidity provides backbone and structure with a long crisp finish. A mix of tropical and citrus fruit aromatics.

The early onset of Noble rot (a rare occurrence) led us to produce this unique style of wine. Canes were cut to retain high natural acidity. The grapes are left on the vines for four to five weeks to allow for some desiccation from the action of the Noble rot (loss of water) concentrating the sugar and levels.
Ripe melon with a leesy, cheesy undertone. A softer creamier style of Chardonnay that is showing development. Ripe stonefruit and melon flavours with balanced acidity and moderate finish. Oak plays a secondary role in this wine.
Hand-picked at 13.7 Be, the fruit was whole bunch pressed preserving structure and acidity. Free run juice to 1st and 2nd year oak barrels with pressings kept separate and going into stainless steel vessels. A combination of Burgundian yeast and natural yeasts enhances complexity. Partial malolactic fermentation (15%) preserves complexity and natural acidity resulting in flavours of ripe fig and white peach. A wine that exhibits a rich and textural mid-palate. The wine has 10 -15 years cellaring potential.
Fastidious handpicking allowed for whole bunch pressing of delicate Chardonnay juice. 100% barrel fermentation in new and seasoned French oak and extended lees ageing in barrel.
Lifted aromatics of citrus with floral overtones and an underlying lemongrass character. Dry, fresh acidity with a ripe citrus zest, minerally backbone that is well supported by lemon/lime fruit duo. A light and elegant body with a very long and persistent finish.
Lifted aromatics of fresh citrus and Kaffir lime leaf with orange blossum overtones. Dry, crisp acidity, minerally and slightlky chalky backbone that is well supported by lemon and lime mid palate. A light and elegant body with a very long and peristent finish.
Two bottles each of the 2011, 2013 and 2015. All three of these wines have been recently tasted and look absolutely stunning – drinking beautifully at the moment with the 2011 still showing youth and primary fruit. The three vintages were submitted for review last year in Halliday’s Wine Companion and all three received very high scores from Erin Larkin. If you are passionate about your Chardonnay then do not miss this offer!
