Bouquet -
Delicious white flesh peach entwined with smashed lemongrass characters that are entwined with basil flowers and hints of grapefruit.
Palate -
Fresh and fruit-driven the palate dishes up flavours of pears, ripe melon, subtle tropical fruits and citrus with a dash of spice on the crisp dry finish. Aftertaste of spicy pear, melon, tropical fruits and citrus. This wine is pure of character to the fruit from the Watervale vineyard. This wine has a succulent, creamy weight with mandarin zest offering this a tight drying finish. The hint of oak works to give this wine a textured and creamy succulence.
General -
A 5-tonne parcel of dry-grown, 1960’s Chardonnay from the Estate of Watervale vineyards allows them to make this wine with high attention to detail. Harvested at optimal ripeness and at the height of natural acid retention, the fruit is chilled prior to crushing with minimal skin contact then fermented, with a small percentage on new French oak. Some extended lees contact builds another layer and allows the wine to meld together. Refined and pure, the chardonnay at Watervale at its best.
