A combination of a great vintage and continued refinements in the winery has resulted in this outstanding chardonnay. Lifted notes of grapefruit and pear on the nose. The palate has a rich lees influence with creamy stone fruit and lightly roasted cashew characters. Controlled and integrated with a long finish.

Hand-picked, whole-bunch pressed, wild-fermented, SO2 added immediately fermentation completed thus blocking mlf. The Regional Winner in the James Halliday Chardonnay Challenge '19. It was doubtless the extreme precision, length and tension that led the judges to this wine.
