Chardonnay

Adelaide Hills, South Australia. This chardonnay has been made to be crisp with fresh fruit characters and soft oak that will allow some maturation if required. The colour is medium yellow with touches of grapey green. The aroma is emphasised by melon and fresh citrus fruits with a hint of biscuity and nutty complexes achieved by aging on yeast lees and the use of soft French oak. A finely layered palate with harmonious and sensuous flavours of melons and grapefruit. The subtle oak enhances the varietal flavours without overpowering them and leads to a silky soft finish. Maturation: The oak is minimal but discernible and will aid maturation if required. Best enjoyed for next 1 to 3 years...
