tasting notes
chardonnay
strong and mellow colours dominate with mainly greens and hints of gold
fresh honeydew melons and a hint of grapefruit are the dominant feature of this wines aromatics; lightly perfumed and wonderfully clean these aromas are underpinned by the fermentation in French oak
a finely structured palate with an abundance of flavour that lingers on the taste buds following through to a clean and complex finish
the free run juice and the pressing juice were handled separately and then quickly clarified before fermentation in French oak barriques
cellaring for a period of 3 to 5 years will develop the wines natural attributes for further enjoyment
an extremely long cool ripening period and late harvest prevailed in the great southern region
