Tasting Notes
Aroma
Classic chardonnay characteristics of peach, nectarine and fresh figs with secondary aromas of cashew nuts and mixed spices.
Maturation
12 months maturation in oak.
Appearance
Pale straw in colour.
Palate
The palate has a complex mix of peach, citrus, cashew nuts, subtle truffle and spice characters throughout. The mid palate is round and creamy, but a clean citrusy acid backbone provides length and persistence to the wine.
Vinification
The fruit was harvested at night and gently pressed using a bag press. The juice was fermented in 30% new French barriques, puncheons and 2,500L casks. The wine was intermittently stirred (battonage) throughout the maturation period. The wines underwent malolactic fermentation prior to racking and being returned to the same barrels.
Cellaring Potential
The wine will continue to reward careful cellaring for up to and possibly beyond 2039.
Range Notes
