Bottle/Case

Aroma

Ripe citrus fruit is the base, with white peach, hazelnut and some creamy, nutmeg barrel notes.

Palate

Citrus fruit is accentuated with a crisp acid backbone. A smooth palate structure shows savoury and nutty barrel influences.

Cellaring

Expect good things with time in the bottle. The primary fruit characters should continue to unfold for several years. Nutty and savoury complexities will continue to build and provide great interest through 2022-2027.

Winemaking

Handpicked in the cool of morning, the juice was gently pressed direct to barrels and left to ferment. The most promising barrels from two blocks were selected and blended for further ageing. After a final selection 14 barrels were blended prior to bottling in January 2019.

Vintage

2017 proved to suit Chardonnay nicely. A pleasant summer led to a cooler period immediately before harvest - perfect for retaining acidity and flavour at the time of Chardonnay ripening. Technical Pick dates: 22 March & 2 April 2017.
