Description

The summer allowed a normal crop load to ripen slowly, producing powerful opulent flavours and a flinty mineral backbone which combine beautifully with barrel fermentation, to create Burgundian inspired Chardonnay.

Aged in 20% new oak for 11 months a delightful soft texture has developed resulting in a long commanding finish. Completed malolactic fermentation and lees stirring has enhanced the texture, complexity and mouth feel.
