Description

The light golden colour is typical of a healthy young Chardonnay.
There is definitive stonefruit Chardonnay varietal character on the nose, with a touch of citrus alongside a lovely seam of lightly toasted French oak and yeast notes.
The palate has a clean/fresh ‘attack’ leading to a tight and linear mid-palate. Refreshing and lively fruit flavours with obvious French oak and yeast influence. A long finish with citrus flavours kicking in at the end.
This wine style is designed to drink while fresh, young and lively – and especially food. Enjoy now through to the next 3-4 years.
100% barrel fermented in European oak – mainly French but also a small amount of Hungarian oak.
Grapes were hand-picked and gently pressed as small batches.
Estate bottled and labelled, individually hand-numbered bottles.
