A nice straw colour and a bouquet of lifted ripe stone fruit characters of white peach and nectarine with toasty oak hints adding complexity. Stone fruit and lively citrus characters gives this wine a lovely palate complemented by vanillin oak and a tight acid structure providing backbone and length.

Richly perfumed with the mouth-watering aromas of freshly toasted sourdough, custard danish and home-baked yoyo biscuit. The zesty perfume of lemon curd and citrus zest is complemented by a hint of oceanic oyster shell and sea spray. The persistent bead drives the long and elegant palate which is creamy yet crisp, with rich flavours of honey-almond nougat and citrus tarts, complemented by a slate-like minerality and the zesty zing of acidity akin to a freshly picked lemon.

A lovely off white, copper hue to the wine. Not quite rose, but a really appealing blush. The nose has mandarin peel, fennel and a touch of funk and wet earth. Palate is racy, with cumquat and dried flower notes. Finishes with a vanilla note, and a savoury, phenolic bite. Theres skinsy and bunchy notes throughout, but they are in harmony with the pristine fruit and energy of a white wine from this cool, humid year.

Taste Description :Cold maceration contributes the intense primary fruit characteristics, and the blending of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot enhances the complexity; extended skin contact develop firm tannin structure With oak maturation, the palate is smooth and great balance of fruit and structure.

A focus on reducing yields and dramatically increasing quality has seen Riverland producers, such as Byrne Vineyards, producing some terrific wines, like this Chardonnay.Delicate straw green. Fresh aromas of nectarine, peach, fig and barrel spice. Terrific bold yet tense fruit expression with good brightness and length, showing juicy nectarine and creamy melon, finishing with sea spray and oyster shell freshness.
