The 2018 Katana Chardonnay reveals a supple core of white stone fruit and citrus blossom overlaid with tempered edges of minerality. On the palate bright varietal fruit is guided to the finish with nuances of French oak and crisp acidity.

For 7 years now, the fruit came from Gibbo’s Vineyard, high in the Piccadilly Valley. Located 560 meters above sea level, nights are cool and the days are fresh, making the region perfect for fruit ripening. Like the previous vintage it has all the hall marks of a great modern chardonnay. According to Halliday, it has great texture, flavour and length. There’s almost a chalkiness to the finish, but there’s plenty of stone fruit, green apple and toast flavours. Finishing with a gentle almond milk character adding that something extra.

Tasting Notes Aroma The bright and lifted nose shows pithy lemon & lime with orange blossom, melon and complex aromas of toasted almond and gun flint Palate Juicy melon and crunchy lemon zest with hints of brown lime and creamed citrus fruit palate. Fine natural acidity gives great length and balances the textural oak characters.
