Tasting Notes

The fruit for this Chardonnay is hand-harvested at first light and whole- cluster pressed straight to ferment in carefully selected Burgundian French Oak barriques, 35% of which are new. Natural solids are retained and incorporated into the juice so as to harness and express every bit of aromatic, textural and structural character. After a long cool ferment, the wine is aged over light lees for a further 10 months in French Oak, 40% of which were new, with fortnightly bâttonage adding to inherent textural weight and palate concentration. After aging the wine is blended, lightly fined and filtered before bottling.

Aromas of lavender, pistachio, toasted walnut, stonefruit and white pepper greet the nose. On the palate, the wine speaks of mandarin pith, lychee, yellow peach and red apple skins. The phenolics are very fine and shapely. Overall, this is a classy and gently toasty chardonnay of poise and restraint

 

Critic Scores

This is immensely complex and enticing on the nose, showing ripe peach, rockmelon, vanillin oak and oatmeal aromas, leading to a concentrated palate offering refined texture backed by beautifully pitched acidity, making it impressively structured and delectable. At its best: now to 2038. $90.00.

Whole bunch pressing here, followed by nine months maturation in French oak barriques, 43% of them new. The colour here is a lemon straw, while the nose is full of lemon, ginger, stone fruits and lemongrass. This is impressively crafted with excellent oak integration. There is an alluring creamy texture here, but overall, this is refined, elegant and from the leaner end of the Chardonnay spectrum with good acidity and very good length. This will provide pleasure for the next six to eight years. Cracking stuff.
