TASTING NOTES:

Nose:    Citrus blossom, green apple and a touch of smokey sulfides.

Colour: Pale straw with green hues.

Palate:   Complex textures of full solids natural ferment, lemon pith with grapefruit and layers of white stone fruit, finishing with a pebble stone drying acid.

WINEMAKING:

This was the last parcel of chardonnay picked in the season. Purely free run juice, drained into barrels, with a natural wild yeast ferment. The cooler vintage conditions meant that the fruit held its naturally higher acidity. Around two thirds of the barrels used in the final blend went naturally through malolactic fermentation, which gives this wine an added layer of texture on the nose and creaminess. The wine spent 10 months in new French oak barriques and puncheons.
