This is a fabulous Chardonnay. Great fruit, well-handled oak, and all up, it's wonderfully balanced. I'll have a large pour, please.
From a vineyard 530m above planted in 1992, it was wild yeast fermented and spent 16 months on lees.
Softly spiced, fine ginger plays a gentle hand. Pineapple, green mango, lemon juice and grapefruit all combine to deliver a wine with drive and mouthwatering fruit purity. A delicate cashew nuttiness, some caramel and white-fleshed stonefruits all play a secondary role. The finish rolls on and on with a gravitating tang adding moreish appeal. It's an excellent wine and one that will age well.
Drink to eight years+
