Expert Reviews

Silver & 92 Pts - Halliday Rating.

Wild-fermented and matured in new French hogsheads for 8 months with lees stirring. The oak is very obvious on the bouquet, but settles down a bit on the palate. There's also some attractive peachy/creamy/figgy fruit to get your teeth into. - James Halliday, 6 October 2016.

Winery Tasting Notes

Notes Image

Colour

Light golden with green tints.

Aroma

A modern style of chardonnay with lemon, honey and stonefruit aromas integrated with some delicate cedar notes.

Palate

The cool climate of the Adelaide Hills helps create a wine that has a fresh and zingy palate with a delightful complexity and lingering finish. The wine is stirred on lees once a week for 8 months and matured in brand new French oak hogsheads which result in an underlying delicate vanilla oak influence.

Food

A delightful chardonnay that will combine with a range of dishes including creamy pasta or succulent poultry dishes.
