The fruit of this elegant Chardonnay was hand-picked and hand-sorted, chilled overnight and gently whole bunch pressed straight to 38% new light toast French (Burgundian) oak barrels for 9 months.

The wine is a pale straw in colour with green highlights, whilst the bouquet displays fresh pears, citrus blossom and nuances of roasted cashew.

The palate is medium-bodied, offering bright characters of green apple, quince and lime tart.  A lovely line of acidity running through the palate provides the wine with drive, length and a crisp, lingering finish. 

Cellaring for at least 12 years from bottling.

Alcohol 13.2%
