Stevens Road Chardonnay 2015

The palate is medium-full bodied offering white fleshed stone fruits and tangy, lemony,grapefruit flavours. A purity of fruit shines through, along with the characteristic ‘Stevens Road minerality’ revealing a lovely quartz- like element to the wine. The taut, fine boned structure is complimented by a lovely yoghurty texture derived from lees stirring, while wonderful fruit intensity and bright acidity combine to focus the wine perfectly to a crisp, lingering fruit finish. The bouquet of this elegant Chardonnay displays white peach and pear characters with underlying hints of oyster shell and beeswax adding complexity. This sophisticated Chardonnay will certainly reward careful cellaring developing further complexity from bottle maturation.
