Description
"Beautifully composed and immediately appealing, the inviting bouquet shows golden peach, rockmelon, vanilla and roasted cashew characters, followed by a succulent palate that is beautifully weighted and rounded. The wine offers delectable fruit flavours together with elegant oak infusion, finishing long and attractive" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jul 2019
This Mystery wine is fruit driven in style, exhibiting ripe peach with underlying citrus and fig characters. On the palate, these flavours are enhanced by a creamy texture and a delicate suggestion of oak. A medium bodied Chardonnay that is styled for enjoyment upon release with or without food.
The 2017 vintage was warm and dry early in the season enabling fruit to ripen nicely. Fruit was then harvested in mid March ahead of the late season rain. Here the maritime climate is perfect for slowly ripening Chardonnay promoting fruit intensity and freshness.
Crushed, gently pressed and settled to leave light solids for fermentation in contact with premium French oak. Some parcels were encouraged to ferment with indigenous yeast to provide complexity to the final blend. Juice was fermented at 18 in stainless steel tanks. Partial malolactic and maturation with regular yeast stirring followed.
Food Pairing: Enjoy with seafood, chicken Caesar salad or an antipasto platter.
