Chardonnay

Buyers must be at least 18 years old and located outside a designated dry zone to purchase alcohol.
Apple blossom, yellow peach and gentle baking spices in a mouth filling yet gentle delivery on the palate.
100% estate grown Chardonnay from one of the highest and coolest vineyards in South Australia. Barrel fermented in a mix of new and seasoned French oak using natural yeast and allowed to develop over 12 months prior to bottling.
This is a lean style, eschewing the softening effects of mlf while riding a rail of tension imparted by lees work and well-nestled oak. Riffs on green apple, honeydew melon and white fig carouse about a core of creamed cashew and nouagtine. A bit shrill, but will settle with a few years of patience.
