Why you'll love this wine
This is a bright and expressive Tasmanian Chardonnay produced from Tamar Valley, Coal River Valley and East Coast fruit.
Ripe stone fruit and almond spice contribute warmth alongside a refreshing citrus acidity. The palate is richly layered with juicy peach, yellow grapefruit and fresh cashew. A small portion of this wine underwent malolactic fermentation providing a complex, round mouthfeel with just a hint of butter.
A more-ish and elegant example of some of the best Chardonnay from Tasmania.
