The wine displays clear and bright with pale lemon and green tinges. The aroma is characterised by fresh lemon citrus notes alongside a hint of classic Chardonnay nutty and creamy aromas and those reminiscent of powderpuff mineral bath salts. In the mouth a plump front palate shows the same lemon citrus accompanied by flavours of white peach before a fresh acid line then works in tandem with a soft edge to ensure the wine remains, delicate, balanced, but targeted in its presence through the palate.
The Chardonnay fruit for this wine is harvested in the cool of the night and delivered quickly to the winery, where it is crushed, chilled and pressed to tank. Cold settled overnight, the juice is then fermented cool (between 11⁰C- 18⁰C) in temperature controlled stainless steel vessels. All of this is designed to retain maximum freshness, aromatics and flavour depth. Additional lees stirring is employed to add some roundness and depth before the wine is prepared for bottling

"This unwooded Chardonnay is a refreshing contrast to many of this producer's ripe, powerful reds. It opens with a bright perfume of peach, melon and ginger, with a mineral, saline note in the background. The palate has textural appeal. It's creamy in feel yet lifted by pure, mouthwatering acidity and clean, fresh fruit flavors."
