Tasting notes
The 2017 Chardonnay Estate Vineyard opens with touches of gunflint and smoke, fleshing out to peach, dried acacia, hay, sliced almond and mineral hints with touches of elderflower. Medium-bodied, it's rounded in the mouth with intense savory fruit layers, great floral nuance and tangy acidity, finishing long and textured. 428 cases produced.

A beautifully fresh and composed style with pears and melon, framed in gently stony, savory and fresh aromas. The palate unwinds smoothly through layered, compact and vibrantly fleshy fruit and delivers a long, smooth finish. Drink or hold.
