Description

A refined and limited release Chardonnay that captures both purity and quiet complexity — crafted from a single Clone 95 parcel and produced from just two carefully selected barrels. This is a wine that speaks softly yet confidently, allowing the character of the clone and site to take centre stage.  In the glass, it shows a bright golden straw hue, immediately inviting. The nose is beautifully lifted, revealing ripe peach and apricot layered with vibrant citrus notes, offering both freshness and gentle opulence.  The palate is superbly balanced and effortlessly approachable, where pure fruit expression meets a subtle creaminess. Notes of stone fruit and citrus glide seamlessly across the palate, supported by a soft, rounded texture built through careful lees work. The influence of second and third-fill French oak is understated, adding structure and finesse without overshadowing the wine’s natural clarity and charm.  Crafted from hand-picked fruit, whole-bunch pressed and wild fermented, this Chardonnay is a thoughtful exploration of Clone 95 — showcasing both precision and depth. The result is a wine that feels pure, textural and quietly layered, with a clean, lingering finish.  A beautiful match for roasted chicken, creamy seafood dishes, or simply enjoyed on its own as the moment calls for something elegant yet relaxed.  Drinking beautifully now, with the balance and structure to evolve gracefully over the medium term, where further texture and nuance will continue to unfold.
