Description
"Beautifully styled and elegantly complex, the engaging bouquet shows nectarine, nougat, lemon peel, vanilla and hazelnut characters, leading to a concentrated palate that is wonderfully weighted and expansive. The wine offers terrific fruit purity together with stylish oak nuances, backed by creamy texture and bright acidity, finishing superbly long and delectable. At its best: now to 2022" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Sept 2018
"Aromatic chardonnay, with appealing toasted nut, chalky mineral, white peach, citrus and spicy oak flavours. Very elegant and integrated wine. Silken-smooth texture and a lingering finish. A classy wine that should develop well" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Sept 2018
Pineapple and caramel notes on the nose leads into upfront fruit intensity that builds and lingers on the palate. A wine is rich with fine acidity and a lingering finish.
Hand harvested fruit was whole bunch pressed and allowed to settle before being racked to French oak Barriques. (approximately ten percent new) The barrels were then allowed to begin fermentation using wild yeast and a small percentage inoculated with cultured yeast to add complexity. Fermentation lasted several weeks and the wine was then warmed and began malolactic fermentation. Once malolactic fermentation was complete the wine was sulphured and allowed to mature in barrel on its yeast lees to add complexity and intensity. The wine was then racked from barrel, blended, heat and cold stabilised, sterile filtered and then bottled on the 27th of February 2018.
