Description
“This cuvee is more ‘traditional’ in the style of Geelong Chardonnay. Fruit profile very similar to other producers nearby. Bit more oak use, which helps tone down the fruit profile. P58 Clone which is all Nectarines and Melon Rind. The Chardonnays are made very reductively, so trying to keep them as fresh as possible, and not let them blow out to be too overdone. We get so much flavour already in the wines, so this is all about building texture, tension and complexity with acid/oak/lees”- Winemaker Notes
"Hand-picked fruit, whole-bunch pressed to French oak, 25% new. A fragrant, fresh and lively youngster with well-measured oak that lets the fruit sing. Grapefruit, lemon, nectarine and white peach fill the bouquet and the palate, flowing fine in structure and briskly across the tongue by crisp, bright acidity. A delight now but with a big future ahead." - 95 Points, Jeni Port, Halliday Wine Companion
"This is simply a beautiful chardonnay to drink. Sweet pear and apple flavours drip from the glass, ushering nectarine, peach and cashew along with them. That core of pear though is the thing; it’s delicious. There’s a crunchy, chalky, bite-into-a-custard-apple aspect to the finish, which is lovely too." - 94 Points, Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front
