Presents a strong Yarra Valley focused Chardonnay, one that celebrates the region’s naturally gifted generosity instilled with a fine Valley structure and brightness. Lemony citrus to the fore on both aroma and palate with nectarine, white peach, a light dusting of spice and an attractive, gentle nuttiness. Texture comes across mealy and warm hearted bringing with its some additional quince and apple flavours to enjoy. Quite nicely contained and juicy with a bright acidity in play giving way to a touch of savouriness before finishing on a high, lemony crystalline note.
