2024 Chardonnay

$55.00
A structured chardonnay-complex, refined and quietly powerful. Apple blossom, grapefruit, white peach and preserved lemon lead the nose and palate, delivering immediate presence and focused intensity. With air, further layers of stone fruit, marzipan, and white pepper emerge. Finely laced acidity leads through to a long, composed finish.

Review
“From organically grown fruit, 100% barrel-fermented; 50% went through mlf; matured in French oak for 12 months (25% new). Richly golden in the glass with flinty characters of struck match, hay, white stone fruit, apple blossom, lemon curd and grapefruit pith. There's a saline element and a lovely hint of white pepper that plays in staccato across the fruit, revitalising and energising the palate.”
