Description / Reviews
"One of our most beloved wines, this pale lemon-yellow Chardonnay balances power and finesse. The nose reveals layers of stone fruit, gently complemented by orange citrus and floral Spring blossoms. The palate offers creamy textures, with flavours of yellow peach, lemon zest, and subtle vanilla and cashew. The oak is well-integrated, supporting ample fruit intensity, while good natural acidity keeps it vibrant. Complex yet approachable, it’s drinking beautifully now." - Ngeringa, Winemaker
"Part of the fruit for this wine comes from Ngeringa's beautiful and biodynamically farmed 'Summit' vineyard. The balance is made up of three small parcels from grower vineyards in the Adelaide Hills. Hand picked, whole-bunch pressed and into French oak, 30% new. Thus ensues a completeness, an enveloping oak richness that's gobbled up by the fruit. There's an immediate harmony, some texture from lees ageing, a softness from full mlf. Yellow peach cheeks, cumquat, candied orange zest, honeyed macadamias, vanilla panna cotta with lime granita sprinkled atop. It's contemplative drinking deserving of an afternoon of cancelled plans." - Katrina Butler, Halliday Wine Companion (Previous Vintage)
