A hedonistic expression of Yarra Valley Chardonnay set against a background of heady oak. It’s one ripe, richly textured and richly flavoured wine with yellow-gold hues. Vanillin aromas mesh with ripe tropical fruits, lemon curd, fennel pollen. The palate follows along similar lines, oak making its presence felt and supported by luscious stone fruits, pear, lemon butter, clotted cream, almond, nougat. Slippery, soft and long.
