A delicate, finely structured Chardonnay. The nose shows citrus with subtle grapefruit, melony influences, and a peachy creamy touch. Palate has subtle oatmeal-like complexity with melony stone fruit, lightly framed but with good intensity. A lighter-style Chardonnay with excellent flavour.

Time in older French oak for maturation aids in providing this Victorian Chardonnay with enhanced texture and complexity. The fruit is all from a single vineyard. Quite intense aromas here, weaving through stone fruits, peaches, cashews, nectarines, melon and a hint of grapefruit. Showing a seductive texture, the wine is very well balanced with good focus and a lingering finish while a clean line of acidity runs the length.

Up-front this presents an attractive mix of pear, citrus, cedar and cream-like flavours, though the real seduction is in the grilled peach characters running through the finish. This is a tasty chardonnay, satisfying and well styled, that is drinking a treat right now but, should you wish, could also be cellared for the next handful or so years.
