Climb the Australian Chardonnay pyramid and you'll see this near the top. An absolutely sublime expression of the variety, I just want to bathe in it.
The 864 Single Block range represents "The best block wines from the best vineyards".
Whole bunch pressed, natural fermentation in French oak for 10 months then an additional 6 months on lees in tank.
From a warmer year, this is outrageously delicious - a Chardonnay lover's dream. It's fine-boned, delicate and precise. White nectarine, cashews and lemon juice muse. There's a pretty factor yet it turns and wants to have that considered conversation. Spend some time and get in deep. Flashes of caramel and a delightful creaminess just purr. That classy nip of ruby grapefruit on close is the ideal send off. Oh, take me now.
Drink to eight years.
