Description

  • French oak
  • Biscuit & almond meal
  • Peach & nectarine
  • Lively acidity

A refreshing, finely concentrated Chardonnay. Brilliant straw-gold with lemon flecks. A balanced showcase of fruit, lees and oak interaction — almond meal and Anzac biscuit at first, followed by peach, nectarine and a whisper of flinty minerality to finish. Weighty and intense in the mouth, with a creamy, biscuity texture, a lively acid line drives a refined and complex finish. The stonefruits on the nose are joined by juicy tropical notes of fresh pineapple and mango, followed by lemon tart and vanilla.

Vineyard and Winemaking Info: Fruit from the winemakers Om Santi and Clouston vineyards, 70% wild fermented in barrel with occasional lees stirring for added weight and texture. Matured in 20% new French oak barrels for 10 months.

Food Pairing: A perfect match for mango chicken curry or crispy pork belly over the next 3 to 5 years.
