72 Sweet cinnamon, lemon balm and pencil shavings. This is an elegant, self-assured Chardonnay whose subtle beauty could easily be missed alongside louder regional counterparts. This may partly come from the vineyard’s location in the cooler, more southern subregion of Karridale. In the mouth, the fruit profile opens into yellow grapefruit pith, cashew cream and clove, whilst the wild fermentation and measured lees work add complexity and flesh.
