2019 Chardonnay - Magnums only

Other vintages

Our truly cool climate ensures an sublime, yet complex expression of Chardonnay that speaks with purity of time and place.

Colour: Mid straw with green hues. Bouquet: A perfumed nose of lemon & lime zest preludes the ripe yet focused white peach & nectarine stone fruits. A sense of wet stone minerality ripples throughout, providing cleansing contrast to more savoury aspects of fennel seed and lees-driven pastry notes all subtly framed by cinnamon oak spice. Palate: Bolts of ripe white peach, preserved lemon, and grapefruit pith form the front and mid-palate before the mineral acidity pulls the palate long to showcase the fine chalk-like textures. Encapsulating the palate throughout is an assuaging creaminess driven by the 14 months on lees in 35% new French oak & 65% MLF. Overall this release is where flavour meets focus and while drinking beautifully now, it will see 10+ years in the cellar.

Alcohol: 12.7%
Closure: Screwcap
Maturation: 14 months in 100% French oak (35% new).

How is this drinking now? Release notes current. Has great drinkability now but has 10+ years ahead.
