Winner Langtons Halliday Chardonnay Challenge 2019
Straw colured with green hues. Burnt match and gunflint sits over grapefruit, lemon, white flowers and green skinned nectarine. The impression is of leanness and tightness, of treading lower ripeness. The palate is beautifully integrated and complex, revealing more with time in the glass. Flint and wet stones, slate, nectarines, papaya and white flowers carried on a seamlessly textured, creamy medium body. The finish is all green apples and lemons – persistent, long and precise with savoury phenolics and mineral refreshment. Linear, formed and complex.
Hand-picked and sorted, pressed to French puncheons for wild ferment and 10 months maturation (+ 6 months in tank). This has incredible length and aftertaste, an enduring Yarra Valley classic. Gold medal Yarra Valley Wine Show '18.

Well. Intensity of fruit, a general succulence, matchsticks flung into the flavour, pears, whites peaches, grapefruit squeezed straight in, finish. It runs like it’s awesome, to borrow a line. I’m not a winemaker but I almost felt jealous, just tasting this, which says it all. Drink 2020-2026+
