The fourth release, this Ox Hardy Chardonnay is driven by fine lines and a fresh citrus delight.
It sees 35% new French oak for eight months with partial malolactic fermentation and monthly lees stirring.
Soft white fleshed stonefruit, barbecued nectarines, Meyer lemon with a cruisy cashew nuttiness. Yellow-fleshed grapefruit whips into action late with a fine creaminess curling around the mouth. A tonic like texture builds further interest, but the most notable thing here is the relaxed and chilled vibes that the whole package evokes. With a respectable finish, it's a great drink.
Drink to five years+
