The absolute zenith of premium Australian Chardonnay, showing spectacular pedigree. Shimmering with a light straw-green tint, the nose is wonderfully seductive and complex, bursting with struck-match reduction, smoky almond meal, nougat, and preserved lemon. The palate is outrageously intense yet incredibly linear, showcasing a chiseled mineral edge, sea salt spray, and grilled lemon driven by pinpoint, electric acidity. With a powerful core of fruit seamlessly integrated with classy French oak, it expands beautifully into a super long, fine, and wonderfully detailed finish.

Pale colour. Lifted grapefruit, lemon curd, pure nectarine aromas with hints of vanilla and marzipan. Generous, creamy with ample juicy nectarine, lemon curd, fruits, fine lacy textures, very good mid palate richness, well integrated vanilla, marzipan notes and fresh long cutting acidity. A cold structure combined with ripe fruit gives a beautiful crunchiness, mineral complexity and richness of flavour Move over Puligny.
