The pristine cool climate of Drumborg has contributed to this precise linear Chardonnay. Precise and linear it might be but there’s plenty of winemaking in here to get the best from this beautiful fruit. Whole bunch pressed and barrel fermented with full solids and 100% malolactic fermentation. The lees were stirred once a month and the oak was about 25% new French. Fragrant lemon pith and lime with a little cut pear and white nectarine. There is power and drive in the palate with slightly pebbly minerality. Love it.
