A wine of impressive clarity and focus. Brings a distinct regional perspective to Chardonnay, one that is higher in natural acidity and quite restrained. The scent of lemon curd, peach, nectarine and citrus mingle with white flowers and hazelnuts. The palate is bright and zingy fresh with flinty notes, crystalline fruits, baking spices, lemon barley and sustained, concentrated stone fruit and citrus flavours. The palate is bright, balanced with leesy, flinty characters contributing an added dimension.
