100% Estate grown, whole-bunch pressed and matured in French Oak (15% new and 90% barriques (225L) and 10% puncheons (500L).
The end product has grapefruit and lemon zest aromas with underlying notes of cashew nuts. The tight palate reflects the season, with texture derived from 10 months on lees and a lovely drive with persistence of flavour. With oak and tank maturation, the wine shows an elegant complexity with appealing freshness.
Tarrawarra's staple chardonnay release, usually a good guide to the personality of the vintage. From this warmer year, there's ripeness, with stone fruit more pronounced than citrus. Oak is subtle, adding a creamy, nutty element to the aromas and flavours and texture on the palate. Freshness and balance without elaboration is a successful formula here.
