A contrasting style to its Farrago sibling, Faultline brings a little more weight and depth to its Chardonnay fruit. You sense more presence in the glass. Raises the role of lemon citrus, grapefruit, quince and Asian pear on the aroma compared to more subtle stone fruits, with background almond biscuit and earth savouriness. Delivers subtle elegance and precision with a firm citrus fruit intensity running deep. There is the promise of so much more still being held in reserve with this wine, including age-worthiness.
