This Chardonnay was blended from a selection of the best wines from the ultra-ripe harvest.  From the start, our aim was to produce a Chardonnay with intense fruit flavour and real character utilising quality grapes.

All fruit was harvested in the early hours and the juice pressed while the grapes were still cool to help retain aroma and flavour.  The wine was tank fermented with an element of quercus fragmentus which added greater weight and complexity.

The wine shows classic ripe, rich butter and tropical fruit on the nose and soft, well integrated vanilla on the palate.

This wine has a striking, pale lime colour.  The nose has pronounced tropical aromas of guava, passion fruit and melon with an interisting floral potpourri twist.  On the palate you can enjoy white peach, kiwi fruit and pink lady apple, underpinned by a delightful flinty freshness and delicate citrus finish.  Full and fresh, this wine will pair well with prawn risotto, lobster, soft cheeses and sunshine.

Hints of lime and grapefruit flavours are delicately combined with a light green pepper mouth-feel. A zesty after-taste completes the experience. Goes well with salads, raw or steamed shellfish, poultry and Asian cooking.
