This Single Vineyard Chardonnay shows immediate delicacy on the palate, with increasing weight and texture coming to the fore. The fruit profile is very much citrus, with bright lemon and lime, as well as hints of barley and pleasant toasty oak in the background. As always with Chardonnay crafted from this vineyard, there is a lovely tension driving the fruit flavours.
Fermented in French barriques (70%) and puncheons (10% new), 15% mlf, matured for 8 months on lees.
94 Point Rated - James Halliday Wine Companion
"Fermented in French barriques (70%) and puncheons (10% new), 15% mlf, matured for 8 months on lees. Full, bright straw-green; shows the benefit of the elevated, cool east-facing slope, for it has powerful drive and pure vinosity as a reward for its complex vinification, the one exception a single racking shortly prior to bottling."
93 Point Rated - Huon Hooke The Real Review
"Medium to light colour with a complex, overt bouquet, which is rich and carries a bit more oak than the other Stonier vineyard wines, toasted hazelnuts. There's a spiciness which sets it apart. The palate is very intense, penetrating and long, with great vitality and precision. Superb chardonnay"
