James Halliday - A well-made chardonnay, with clear-cut varietal expression, good balance and length.
TASTING NOTES
Lifted aromas of nectarine, peach and pear are accompanied by citrus fruits on the palate with an extensive finish framed by subtle vanilla notes and a hint of spice from maturation with French oak.

WINEMAKING REPORT
Picked early in the morning, the fruit was delivered cool to the winery. Gentle pressing to minimise phenolics and cold settling preceeded a long, cool fermentation averaging 14°C. A small portion (5%) of the Chardonnay was fermented in seasoned French oak to give added complexity and structure to the wine.
