Selaks called this Chardonnay Buttery because it is smooth, creamy and simply melts in your mouth. The beautifully integrated toasty oak results in flavours of brioche and vanilla, while still enabling the delightful ripe stone fruit characters to shine through. Stunning with crayfish or pumpkin risotto.

Soft, appealing stone fruit along with tempting touches of hazelnut and lemon blossom with a sweet hint of almond praline. Plum & black fruits with hints of cherry chocolate.

Vibrant mid-straw colour. Bright lifted peach and melon notes complimented by delicate florals aromas. Lovely medium body wine with a seamless acidity balanced with a luscious and juicy ripe yellow peach and nectarine notes. Hints of ripe melon and creamed honey add further fruit weight and complexity across the mid palate. Evans & Tate
