Overview

TASTING NOTES
Straw coloured with a lifted nose of ripe apricots, brioche and toasted hazelnuts with a hint of flinty complexity. The palate displays stone fruits and honeysuckle along with a nutty complexity from the natural ferments. The palate has good depth and concentration with a refreshingly long finish. This wine has a tight mineral structure and will develop a creamy texture as it matures.
DESCRIPTION
Handpicked grapes were chilled overnight before gentle pressing direct to barrel without settling. The wine was entirely barrel fermented in french oak barriques (20% new) using indigenous yeast. A period of lees stirring post ferment adds a textural element to the palate.
Cellaring: While approachable in its youth this wine will further integrate and develop for 3 to 5 years from vintage.
Ideal food match: Delicious with leek, mushroom & mustard chicken with herby cauliflower rice.
INFORMATION DETAILS
ABV: 13.5%
Grape: 100% Chardonnay
