creamy peach & balanced oak
White peach and nectarine, then a little quince, reinforced by just a hint of French oak describes our cool climate Chardonnay sourced from the Adelaide Hills. The wine has a rich mid-palate, deftly balancing the peach and nectarine characters of the free-run juice with the subtle yeasty barrel-ferment character. The grapes were machine-harvested at night, crushed and pressed with only free-run juice used. The juice was clarified prior to fermentation, ensuring the wine retains the intense fruit aromas and flavours typical of cool climate chardonnay.

A fresh and zesty wine with citrus and white peach fruit flavours at the fore. The wine has a crisp natural acidity from the free-run juice which is balanced subtle yeasty barrel-ferment characters. The wine finishes with a bright lemony acidity
