The infamous stone fruit characteristics of Chardonnay are very apparent in this wine with aromas of peach & nectarine. The first sip continues to highlight this fantastic fruit expression followed by a creamy cashew nut finish which has developed from barrel maturation.
6 x 750ml bottles
ABV 13.5%
ORIGIN: Adelaide, South Australia
VARIETAL: 100% Chardonnay
COLOUR: Pale straw gold with green hues.
AROMAS: The nose displays primary apple and stone fruit aromas with hints of peach.
PALATE: The fruit driven palate is complex, and crisp with its acid structure supporting the generous, apple, melon primary fruit accompanied by slight creaminess from limited barrel maturation.
VINIFICATION:
The winter had sufficient rainfall, ensuring good soil moisture for vine budburst in spring. The growing season had slightly below average temperatures, allowing for a slow and extended ripening period. The dry summer and harvest led to an earlier picking of Chardonnay grapes, resulting in a wine with excellent colour and classic regional flavours
