Racked directly to barrel after whole-bunch pressing, this wine is the purest expression of TarraWarra Chardonnay. Made without yeast or acid addition, the fruit batches from each block are kept entirely separate in barrel over the 10 months in oak.
Aromas of citrus fruits and white flowers reflect the cooler year, the palate balanced between finesse, length and creamy texture. The acid line drives through with a persistent and long finish. A wine to drink and enjoy now or cellar for 10 or more years.
Light straw colour. The bouquet is restrained, rather tight and almost a little closed, showing straw and subtle toasted hazelnut nuances. It really blossomed in the glass. The wine is lemony, citrusy, hazelnutty, honeyed, taut and refined on palate. It's very light on its feet; a super-refined, utterly gorgeous chardonnay of real complexity and finesse. (From original 1983 planted vines, B and D Blocks.)
