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

Palate: Full rich lush summer peaches and nectarines with a combined
nutty and citrus taste in a lingering finish
