Profile
A ‘New Wave’ of Chardonnay. A bright and textured Chardonnay with tropical flavours and nuttiness complexity. Lean with good acidic structure, this pour matures on the palate like no Chardonnay on this earth.
Fruit from a single vineyard at Gumeracha -subregion of Adelaide Hills. Whole berry processing, fermented and matured in French Oak (30% new) for 9 months on lees with no sulphur.
Enticing notes of crisp green apple, ripe pear and zesty citrus. The palate reveals a harmonious balance of flavours. The green apple and pear notes are joined by a touch of white peach and stone fruits. The influence of oak aging is evident but not overpowering, contributing a textural mouthfeel and flavours of buttered toast and a subtle nuttiness.
Perfectly paired with: Umami-rich dishes such as grilled/seared lobster and scallops, simply roast poultry and pork dishes.
Best Serving Condition: Chilled and served at between 10 to 12 degrees Celsius.
