FRUIT
The Chardonnay grapes provided classic characteristics of lush stone fruits which has developed vanillin overtones following partial oak fermentation.

The key feature of the Chardonnay was that it was picked over three different periods, with baume’s ranging from 12-14.5 . This has enabled all the various fruit characteristics of the grape to be captured and a more complex palate to be developed.
