The palate is focused and textured, with white peach, lemon crème, papaya, fresh pineapple and mandarine dominating. Lees derived savoury notes of roast pistachio and cashew with toasted brioche, great acidity and good length round make this a mouth-filling, rich Chardonnay.
BLEND: Chardonnay 100%
COLOUR: Medium straw.
AROMATICS: White stone fruit papaya and honey dew melon with notes of brioche and fresh toast.
MEDIA REVIEW: Sam Kim Wine Orbit 95 pts.
PALATE
Richly textured showing fleshy peach and nectarine characters, nutty creaminess on the mid palate and nicely framed with savoury French Oak. Clean, fresh finish.
VINTAGE CONDITIONS
Cool nights and mild days reduced the sugar acclimation and maintained the natural acidity of the fruit. These conditions, combined with the low yields produced wines of supple and elegant flavours, low alcohol and balanced acidity.
