A finely detailed Chardonnay running smooth across the tongue and revealing a multi-dimensional expression of the grape, one that highlights its obvious citrus side mixed with ripe stone fruits and a light savouriness. Lemon balm, nectarine, white peach, Meyer lemon and spice. Light-medium bodied and lemony bright with little obvious oak present (only 10% new oak was employed), the palate highlights some sizzling, pretty floral aromatics nestled among citrus, stone fruits, lemon verbena, peach custard and baking spices. Nice drive and concentration.
