winemaker's notes:

A product of traditional vinification including fermentation and maturation in French oak, from one of Australia's top Chardonnay regions. Rich fruit, aromatic complexity, a long, balanced palate that finishes with clean acidity.

critical acclaim:

"The Chardonnays coming from this winery in recent years are truly worth a hunt. Winemaker Tim Lovett informed me that he whole-bunch presses the Chardonnay with some settling, but he likes to use relatively turbid juice and practices batonnage weekly during maturation to build texture. “The Chardonnays tend to open up after 2 years and are designed to age over 10-15 years,” he said. The 2007 Chardonnay has intense aromas of pineapple, green guava, mandarin peel and fresh ginger. Crisp, rich and silky in the mouth, it gives concentrated flavors with seamless oak. The finish is very long with some minerals, drinking now to 2017+. "
