Sourced from vines planted in 1978.
A vibrant, fresh, textral winue grown by one of the best viticulturalists in the country.
It is a unique expression of the vineyard site.

Description
Stunning cool climate Chardonnay - characters of grapefruit, melon, white stone fruit, mineral and a hint of struck match. The palate shows richness despite the lack of malolactic fermentation, principally from the vines now over 40 years of age. What a superb wine - an insight to the greats of the region for merely half their price.
