Tasting Notes
Aroma
White nectarine fruits, citrus and lemon curd jump from the
glass. Cashew butter notes add further intrigue. Flicks of flint and
some oak derived toast.
Appearance
Light white straw, green hue and brilliant clarity.
Palate
Deeply concentrated, fruit characters of lime and grapefruit
envelop the palate whilst toasty oak and cashew undertones bring
layers and depth to the finish. The maritime site is reflected in a
minerality and saltiness which frames the wine. Finely intertwined
acidity lifts and connects the parts which come together to form
a powerful and memorable whole. A great example of maritime
Chardonnay.
Vinification
Hand harvested fruit was firmly whole bunch pressed. The juice
was racked and gravity fed into our underground barrel hall where
natural fermentation occurred in new 20% and older French
barrels. The wine was left to unwind and age slowly on its ferment
lees to add generosity. After 10 months the wine was racked and
filtered prior to bottling in December 2024.
Vintage Notes
A mild season in Geelong. Unsettled weather at flowering set
small crops. A warm and dry summer led to grapes with full fla
vour,
high concentration, yet retaining good acidity.
Food Matching
Baked flathead, fettucine carbonara, Portarlington mussels with
white wine sauce.
