Single vineyard wine grown on vines planted in 1974 and 1981. Minuscule quantity produced. Sunny disposition up-front but there’s a stern thoughtfulness beneath. Straw-coloured, peach and malt notes, spice, bacon, nectarine. Essence of chardonnay in that sense. But as you follow the wine along the palate it becomes increasingly elegant, its line of acid laced with oatmeal, yeast and dry pear flavours. Finishes with superb length.

A chardonnay of delicacy and structure, built around a lemon blossom bouquet and a palate of finely structured minerality and lingering texture. Subtle lees complexity and understated almond oak support citrus and white peach fruit of finesse and restrained determination.
