Light straw in colour this wine displays a delicate bead, enhanced by an extended time on tirage lees, which has also resulted in a persistent and creamy mousse. Complex aromas of honey and bright citrus are complemented with elegant aromas of brioche and roasted nuts. A bright natural acidity that lingers on the finish extends the length of the palate, whilst a soft creamy texture fills the mid-palate.
2016 was a warmer year with cool spring and early summer nights which defined this vintage as one that displayed elegant fruit flavour and balanced acid. Chardonnay was harvested from our western vineyard site with eastern facing slopes, these blocks have some of the highest elevation across the whole vineyard. The full morning sun and natural shading in the afternoon produces premium Chardonnay with bright natural acid and exceptional drive. The Pinot Noir base wine offers texture and fruit weight which complements the Chardonnays crisp acid and definition.
