Taste of freedom…
Without having the luxury (or limitation!) of a pre-ordained family history in wine, we relish the freedom and opportunity to cast our net a little wider from our home in McLaren Vale, hoping to capture the freshness and vibrancy of the cool Adelaide Hills…
A pure and tightly wound wine showing the muscle and intensity of the low yielding Birdwood and Woodside sites, and the nervy acid line synonymous with fine, late ripening and deeply cool Piccadilly Valley Chardonnay.
We love this wine with a simple roast chicken with 40 cloves of garlic, duck fat roast dutch cream potatoes and steamed baby green beans.
A shy and somewhat restrained nose showing spicey ginger, white flowers, green nectarine fruit characters, and subtle hints of nougat and white chocolate.
On the palate, a bedrock of chalky minerality supports a core of intense stone fruit, framing its lingering acidity.
