From Central Otago, the fruit sourced from 26-year old dry-grown vines in Wanaka. A brilliant pale lemon-green in the glass, with an expressive, toasty bouquet of citrus, cashew and chamomile. Full bodied, with a fresh and elegant array of grapefruit, peach and pear flavours.
Vivacious – a bright acidity is a counterpoint to the rounded creaminess of the enveloping texture in the mid-palate. Accented with a subtle but rich and spicy oak note, this a deep and meaningful conversation in Chardonnay. A touch of lemon curd and marzipan towards the finish – that is long, and flecked with a little salinity right at the end.
