TASTING NOTES

Striking aromas of cashew and peach open up to a palate of white peach and stone fruit. There is a subtle creaminess with toasty oak is supported by a mineral acid line maintaining freshness and complexity, the palate finishes with hints of biscuit and oyster shell and a touch of flint.

STYLE

Classic Adelaide Hills Chardonnay, with elegance and structure.

REGION

Sourced from the Porter family, our long-term grower in the Adelaide Hills.

VINTAGE SUMMARY

The 2021 vintage was outstanding in many ways. Excellent growing conditions and a mild summer led to perfect ripening across most varieties. These conditions have resulted in delicate flavours for white wines with pristine varietal characters and beautiful natural acidity. Overall a high-yielding vintage with high-quality fruit.

MATURATION

Matured in a mix of new and used oak for 6 months. Weekly battonage helped create a full and creamy mouthfeel and balance out the acidity.
