luscious, complex and layered
A rich Burgundian style Chardonnay with a taste of stone fruit, then a little citrus and just a hint of apple. The layers of flavour finish with a biscuity note. Sourced from two of the great Chardonnay producing regions of Australia, the Hunter Valley and the Adelaide Hills, the wine is 100% Barrel fermented in French oak to create a luscious wine with Old World influences.

Cellaring
This wine is drinking well now but will cellar for the next 5-10 years.
