The Kiss Chardonnay comes from two select vineyards within the higher areas on the Mount Lofty Ranges. We want the fruit flavours to shine through so the wine is not oak dominated, rather fruit first with some oak flavours. Nectarine, peach and blood orange fruit flavours backed up with some subtle almond, oatmeal and hazelnut derived from the 3 months in French oak barriques. A minerality is evident throughout the palate whilst still maintaining an opulent creaminess from the lees stirring. The mid palate generosity is pulled into line with a fresh lime acid finish.
La Bise is French for the kiss. We search the Mount Lofty Range vineyards for quality fruit to produce the wines that are “true” to that vineyard and express the flavours of the grapes. We often find vineyards in need of love and attention and by rejuvenating these vineyards we give them “the kiss of life”.
The wines are about fruit and vineyard expression. We aim for for mouthfeel and drinkability without high alcohol. We pick early in the vineyard to give wines that are lower in alcohol by nature as we believe this gives better drinkability and longevity.
