Winemaking
The 2018 vintage was picked in three tranches. This delivered three distinctly different parcels of ripeness and ultimately a layered complexity and acidity. Green apple/citrus, peach and tropical diversity in a refreshing and vibrant style.
Colour
Pale straw with brilliant edge.
Nose
Lifted aromas of citrus and peach with deep notes of guava.
Palate
Bright and vibrant, with layers of richness and fruit. Ripe peach and plush citrus fruits are balanced with hints of vanillin oak. Epitomising the quality of our estate vineyards, this 2016 vintage is more complex and intriguing.
Food Pairing:
Fish, seafood and chicken dishes are perfect matches to this rich Chardonnay.
Creamy pasta and soft cheese along with salads of substance such as Caesar and chargrilled chicken.
