A Chardonnay that dances light and bright in the glass. Winemaker, Nick Glaetzer, opted for limited maturation time in French oak which allows the fruit to really shine, revealing an inner energy led by light florals, a summery citrus intensity, green apple, spice and a gently nutty creamy smooth flow. Good depth across the middle palate with a building textural overlay. Brings that special kind of crisp, ocean-fresh Tassie Chardonnay vibe, mineral bright and so drinkable, and, goes without saying, age-worthy.
