Warning

Under the Liquor Control Reform Act 1998 it is an offence to supply alcohol to a person under 18 years (penalty exceeds $25,000) and for a person under 18 years to purchase or receive alcohol (penalty exceeds $1,000).

Aromas of white fleshed peach and nectarine meld with poached pear, white florals and gentle oak by the way of brioche and roast hazelnuts.

The palate is juicy and morish, the quenching lemon acidity sitting effortlessly alongside the generous stone fruit flavours with sweet pastry flavours in support. Honeycomb, chicken broth, bacon bits, with slate and integrated oak frame add further complexity. A Chardonnay of varietal definition and regional expression.

WINEMAKING NOTES

Hand harvested fruit is whole bunch pressed directly to French oak barriques and puncheons (16% new). A considered amount of solids is maintained in the ferment. Following wild primary fermentation, malolactic fermentation brings the natural acidity back into check. The wine is then left to mature on lees and stirred when appropriate following appraisal to enhance flavour and texture. The wine is aged for 9 months in oak prior to blending and bottling.
