Description
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. A nutty, butterscotch and mealy character on the nose, hint of seasoned French oak. A wine that is developing on the palate with a balanced acidity and flavours of ripe stonefruit and dried citrus , and supportive French oak. Ready to drink now.

James Halliday Wine Companion 2023
“Seldom does one experience chardonnay from an estate with the confidence to release them with bottle age. Here lies an exception. Still youthful, with the only hint of age the slightly resinous yellow hue. Otherwise, a Dorian Grey of a wine with hints of green mango, papaya and cashew careening along seams of bright, tangy acidity and pillars of well nestled oak (40% new). Long and energetic.”
