Pale straw in colour with green hues. Complex and enticing aromas of preserved citrus, white fleshed stone fruit, spice, fresh picked nuts and oak all leap from the glass. The palate has a depth and volume of fruit that builds in intensity as it travels across the mid-palate. The fine acid and textural elements of the barrel fermentation interweave with the fruit to balance and complete the wine.

The result is a flinty style with notes of toast and whipped cream. Yum!

Little bit of old school Vs new school Chardonnay here. Chardonnay that tastes like Chardonnay. Nice and textured with generosity while still being fresh. A ripping acid line that brings it all together. This is a Tuesday night in a glass kind of Chardonnay, did someone say Nannas roast chicken?
