Style

This is an exuberant Chardonnay. Deep, open, complex, all-encompassing aromas of orchard and greengage fruits, roasted nuts, nougat, brioche, toast, flint and white-flower perfumes. Medium-bodied, highly textural and fully leaning in to the natural tendency of this close-planted block to deliver concentrated, mouth-filling flavours that find every crevice of your mouth. This is unashamedly forthright chardonnay, yet its crystalline clarity and mineral accents bring such impeccable balance, giving an overall sense of effortlessness; something that can only be achieved with special vineyards, and with time.
