Aroma & Palate

This wine exhibits bright citrus and ripe stone fruit aromas entwined with subtle notes of clove and oak spice.

The palate is fresh and vibrant with ripe flavours of juicy peach merged with nutty lees and ginger highlights. The flavours from an intense core with very good depth, lifted with fresh acidity. The flavours carry to a long finish of fruit, and spicy, mealy oak. A fresh and elegant Chardonnay with some depth of stone fruits, nutty lees and oak flavours on a fresh, fine textured palate.

Enjoy With

Serve lightly chilled on its own or as an accompaniment to a wide range of succulent and rich dishes including white meat, poultry and pasta. I would suggest pairing with some wild game dishes accompanied with truffle or black garlic.

WINEMAKING DETAILS

Grapes for this wine were machine harvested at the peak of flavour intensity and bag pressed to remove the juice from the skins as quickly and gently as possible once arriving at the winery. Once clarified, all parcels of juice were left to naturally start fermentation before being pumped to barrel for primary fermentation.

After primary fermentation, all components underwent malolactic fermentation to soften the wines acidity. Each parcel was lees stirred regularly to integrate oak characters and enhance the textural richness while preserving pure fruit flavours.

Once the wine has matured in barrel individual parcels were selected and blended to highlight the ripe stone fruit character while also maintaining texture and richness on the palate.
