The Chardonnay grapes were a whole bunch pressed. The resultant wines were aged on settled lees with minimal stirring, and 100% malolactic fermentation was undertaken on a number of barrels for enhanced richness and complexity. 100% fermented in large-format French oak casks (13% new). Vegan.
The palate is deep, long, and flavourful with lemon posset and petrichor undertones washing over a refreshing base of integrated acidity.
Aromas of orange blossom, frangipani flower, Meyer lemon, grapefruit pith, custard apple, and lemon verbena with a subtle savoury undercurrent of lovage, flint, and some struck match complexity.
