Description
White stone fruit and grapefruit aromas are layered with a touch of smoky, flinty character. This layered chardonnay has loads of texture, tension, and a hint of oak spice. Pair with risotto or carbonara pastas.Tasting Notes
COLOUR Very pale gold with lime green hues NOSE Restrained upon first pour. Induce awakening via a sprightly decant, or vigorous swirl. Primary white peach and assorted stone fruits give way to tempting scents of fresh crème anglaise/pana cotta. Oak (just) evident, yet impressively integrated (80% new?!) Wafts of struck-match prancing above; intense, smoky barrel-ferment notes lurking below. Complexingly challenging – an abundance of character, yet not saturated; aromatically bedazzling, yet not an assault. PALATE Adelaide Hills fruit soaring and intense white peach fruits and defined natural acidity. Barrel-ferment an interwoven nuttiness (roasted cashew) and pliant tension. Lees contact crème brûlée notes, volume and a heightened leesy texture. The acidity noted above is not a defining feature – more of a softer/gentler acidity playing a supporting role – complimentary to texture. An expansive palate that grows – propelled by persistent flavours and textural integrity. PEAK DRINKING Now - 2030 LAST TASTED March 2020Product Details
