TASTING NOTES
Striking aromas of lemon, peach, and oatmeal. On the palate are stone fruits and lemon. The prominent acid supports these fruit characters and the oak provides a richness that complements the fruit. An overall great balance.
STYLE
Classic Adelaide Hills Chardonnay, with elegance and structure.
REGION
Sourced from the Porter family, our long-term grower in the Adelaide Hills.
VINTAGE SUMMARY
2022 saw a cooler-than-average growing season that led to extended ripening conditions and retention of natural acidity. As a result, patience was required to wait for optimum harvest dates ensuring full flavour development and acid balance was reached Patience was rewarded with outstanding flavours and varietal definition with exceptional quality across all white varietals.
MATURATION
Matured in a mix of new and used oak for 6 months. Weekly battonage helped create a full and creamy mouthfeel and balance out the acidity.
CELLARING
Drinking best 1-5 years.
