A pitch perfect Margaret River Chardonnay – smooth, assured and seamless. Delivers a finely nuanced wine to the glass rippling in flavours and textures and best of all, it builds and builds. Scents offer up stone fruits and citrus alongside a cashew nuttiness, fennel spice and peach custard. Acidity is bright and carries the wine beautifully and long opening up in a rich nuttiness with stone fruits, citrus and subtle spices through the middle. Combines a supple texture with a zesty, crunchy finish. Impressive now with plenty left in the tank should you wish to age.
