Criminal Minds, Chardonnay
Chardonnay
On the run between our three South Australian vineyards, we collude with our vines to deliver the goods on ultimate varietal expression.
We’re constantly scheming about rejuvenating our beautiful Murray wetlands too – for which the authorities have already chased us down an award! Enjoy with your last meal or in isolation.
This refreshing Chardonnay is smooth and full-bodied. The ripe peach and plush citrus fruits are balanced with creamy vanillin oak. Bright and vibrant, finishing dry for a clean getaway.

WINEMAKING
The 2017 vintage was noted with February rain falls followed by an intense 3 day heat wave. Cooling off to a mild, even ripening period to complete the 2017 grape harvest which was picked in three separate gangs. This delivered three distinctly different parcels of ripeness and layered complexity. Components of green apple and lime citrus,fresh white peach and tropical fruits offer diversity in a refreshing and vibrant style.
COLOUR

AROMA
Lifted lemon curd, lime zest and ripe tropical fruits with a hint of cantaloupe.
