THE WINE
Aromas of just ripe nectarine, white peach and salted cashews are supported by a touch of clove and hazelnut from the oak. Precise and fine lined on the palate, the warm spice coupled with tightly wound citrus and stone fruit flow through to the finish with a bright acid zip. Elegant and refined.
THE VINTAGE
The 2021 vintage is considered to be one of the best Yarra Valley vintages. Ripening temperatures were on the cool side and the rainfall was ideally timed to provide the ideal growing season for Chardonnay. A rare year that produced both quality and quantity.
VITICULTURE + WINEMAKING
A mix of whole bunch and destemmed and crushed fruit was gently pressed. The slightly cloudy juice was fermented in 2nd and 3rd use 300-litre barrels. 10% of the wine underwent malolactic fermentation to add a touch of creaminess. The wine was bottled young to retain its freshness.
FOOD MATCH
Yarra Valley goats curd, tuna ceviche, vegetarian paella.
