Tasting Notes
Colour
Pale straw with green tinges.
Aroma
Aromas of nectarine, sweet citrus and crushed almond.
Palate
The palate combines beautifully with the fine acid line and savoury generosity of the wine. Notes of nougat, lemon curd and nectarine are carried by the subtle grainy texture to create a wine that is both elegant and moreish.
Cellaring
Cellar for 3–5 years.
Technical
winemaking
The fruit was handpicked, and whole bunch pressed straight to French barriques, 30% new, for wild fermentation. Occasional lees stirring was performed to build texture with primary development in oak for nine months.

Reviews
Halliday wine companion 2022
Hand-picked, whole-bunch pressed to French barriques (30% new), wild-fermented, 9 months in oak. Good cool-grown chardonnay, a touch lean perhaps.
