It has depth and elegance, reflecting classic Yarra Valley chardonnay sensibilities.It is versatile, vibrant and perfect for classy dishes with intricate flavours. Think creamy shellfish, grilled tuna steaks, new potatoes in fresh herbs or some of those delectable creamy cows milk cheeses made famous by the French.Open this for a wonderful dinner at home with people you love to share good things with.

“Expressive on the nose, with apples, hay and florals there too, and a bit of eucalyptus and porridge oats. On the palate, it’s quite grapey and wears its Moscato base on its sleeve. Fantastic medium body, nougat and gentian bitterness. Violets on the mid-palate and caramel and vanilla sweetness on the finish.

“Particularly floral and aromatic on the nose, with notes of lemon balm, elderflower, dusty notebooks, apple blossom and grapefruit peel. The aromatics hit the dryness. On the palate it morphs into a more traditional dry Vermouth, with bay leaf and thyme, before a saline finish.
