This single vineyard Chardonnay is light straw in colour with a green tint. On the nose, expect white nectarine, peach with a citrus background, fresh and lifted. Fine zesty structured palate with chardonnay flavours of peach and melon. Just a hint of oak supporting the fruit, a lovely crisp acidity to finish.

Vintage Conditions: Bud-burst date was on par with average after wet July & August. Spring was cool & damp which resulted in slow shoot growth. Fruit set was variable due to cool conditions but the weather stabilised in November, with excellent growing conditions through to February. A lack of any weather extremes, either heat or cool spells lead to favourable ripening conditions and excellent flavour development.

Wine Reviewer Comments
Zippy style with honey, pear, nectarine and citrus flavours running into a chalky-but-juicy finish. Crisp and textural at once. Works Well – The Wine Front
