Chardonnay made with grapes sourced from the Adelaide Hills, Tasmania and Tumbarumba regions. Clean, pure, highly varietal nose. White peach and nectarine, a flintiness rising. The palate introduces toast, malt, wheaty elements and a little funk, though it’s well contained. There are many elements here and yet they present in unison. Dry, serious finish. Bristling length. Excellent wine. Will mature beautifully.

Pale colour. Intensely fresh white apricot, “fino” aromas with roasted nut, gun flint nuances. Well concentrated white apricot, peach, bitter lemon yeasty, cashew nut flavours, fine looseknit chalky al-dente textures, classic mid-palate suppleness and long crisp acidity. Minerally wine with attractive generosity of fruit and freshness. An early drinking style for aficionados with lovely varietal definition and tension.
