2024 Adelaide Hills Chardonnay
“A barrel fermented Adelaide Hills Chardonnay offering a harmonious balance of complexity, depth and freshness.”
On the nose, the wine reveals a bouquet of ripe stone fruits, pithy lemon and hints of toasted hazelnuts and brioche.
The 100% French oak influence is elegantly integrated, providing soft notes of vanilla, slightly smoked cedar, and a delicate touch of spice.
On the palate, the wine is full-bodied yet refined, with a creamy texture that’s balanced with a line of taut acidity.
The 8 months of oak barrel maturation lends a layer of complexity, enhancing the wines gentle minerality emerging towards the finish, adding length and depth to each sip

REVIEWS:
93 Points SILVER MEDAL - Wine Pilot, Ken Gargett.
"Barrel fermentation here for this compelling Chardonnay made from Adelaide Hills fruit. 100% French oak in use, with maturation for eight months. A vibrant lemon/yellow hue, the nose gives us a range of aromas including spices, citrus, stonefruits, grapefruits, peaches, mandarins and nectarines. There is impressive balance throughout and good intensity. Drive and focus, this is taut and yet ripe and generous at the same time. For enjoying over the next eight to ten years."
95 Points GOLD MEDAL - Wine Orbit, Sam Kim.
"Gorgeously styled and expressive, the wine presents notes of white-fleshed peach, fig, lemon peel, vanilla, and almond meal on the nose. It's wonderfully weighted in the mouth, with a creamy mouthfeel and finely pitched acidity, leading to a splendidly long, refined finish. At its best: now to 2034."
