Colour: Pale straw.

Aroma: White peach, nectarine and fig characters are abound with fresh green apple undertones. The nose is complex with subtle gun flint and biscuit aromas adding to the interest of this 'Chablis' inspired wine.

Palate: Impeccably structured, this fine wine shows all the classic features of the vintage. Intense fruit flavours, wonderful texture from battonage and beautiful length derived from the ample natural acidity. All of these characters together form a complex and classy wine.

The assorted Tumbarumba vineyard sites from which this Chardonnay is sourced are planted at altitudes ranging from 500m-842m. These sites produce a diversity of wine styles whereby the winemaking team can select from an array of flavours and acidities, concentrations and intensities to craft a well balanced wine. After evening and early morning harvesting, the fruit was transferred to the winery and tipped directly into the press before a slow, gentle press cycle ensured only the finest free run juice was extracted prior a short cold juice-settling period. The Chardonnay juice was then racked to 25 percent new French oak barriques, taking along a substantial amount of press solids. A mixture of natural and inoculated yeast ferments were encouraged to provide complexity and interest to the various wine parcels. After fermentation, the parcels were stirred twice a week for a short period of time. After nine months barrel maturation, the parcels were carefully blended.
