$46.00

Style

Bright, pure Chardonnay. Medium bodied, with a high level of aromatic complexity and fruit concentration, spiced up with a nervy mineral edge and lacey texture. Green apple, peach and grapefruit, with fragrant white blossom, nuts and flint. The complexity and driving intensity of this chardonnay is highly reflective of this steep, east-facing, granitic, close-planted site in Tarrawarra, Yarra Valley.
