It’s intense and complex with pristine peach and citrus fruit, subtle toasty oak and great depth of flavour, all tightly wrapped up in refined minerality. This is length and poise vinified. It will develop even more if cellared for another 2-3 years. Makes a flawless pair to smoked salmon and feta tartlets.

Tasting Note
Aroma

A fine, pure and intense aroma with classic notes of citrus blossom and grapefruit pith.

Maturation

The chardonnay was crushed, pressed and transferred with solids, into tight grain 500L French oak puncheons (20% new) to undergo natural fermentation. It was then left to mature on lees for 11 months, without malolatic fermentation proceeding, until bottling in February 2015.

Palate

The palate is fine with great depth of flavour. Tightly wound together with a precise minerality, the wine has beautiful length and poise.

Saline/brine characteristic on the nose, pink grapefruit, white peach and something salted … it is long and textured and incredibly refined. It is a delicate and modern expression of Australian chardonnay, with softly spoken spices that weave in and out of the concentrated, ripe and balanced fruit. The oak is subtle and already in sync with the fruit. This needs no time but will flourish if given the opportunity.

There's not a solitary hair out of place in this perfectly delineated and balanced wine, the fusion between fruit, oak and acidity absolute. All of that said, it is the white peach and cashew fruit that sits at the heart of the wine, and will always remain so.
