Tasting Notes

Aroma

Fresh, aromatic nose of lemon sorbet and white peach, honeydew melon with classic flint and a hint of reduction.

Maturation

30 days in aged oak

Appearance

Pale gold straw

Palate

Finely structured, elegant and delicate. Food friendly notes of brioche and cream are cut through by clean natural acidity. Well balanced and complex.

Vinification

After picking on the 8th of April the fruit was pressed into new (20%) and second fill French oak barriques and hogsheads. Primary fermentation went for 30 days on full solids and aged in oak for eight months, the barrels were lees stirred monthly prior to bottling in June 2023.

Winemakers Comments

An incredibly versatile variety, Chardonnay thrives in almost all climates successfully making a variety of styles from lean, aromatic and minerally in cool climates to full bodied and buttery styles from warmer regions. Not to mention Champagne. However, the most celebrated Chardonnay’s tend to originate from cool climates such as its home in Burgundy and new world regions such as the Adelaide Hills

    Pale straw with aromas of crunchy white peach, pear and grapefruit with hints of clotted cream, soft spice, white flowers, melon, stone, nougat and white pepper. The palate shows a real hazelnut nougat angle with a nice swoop of texture, clotted cream and a finish that has some pleasing minerality of softly spoken oak nuance allowing the stone and citrus fruits to speak clearly. Points: 91/100
