Yellow peach and stonefruits are carried across the palate by a mouthwatering acid drive finishing with a touch of lemon curd. A hint of pithy phenolics provides the wine with a lovely moorish texture.
A limited release chardonnay from two selected Piccadilly Valley sites. Ferment was sparked by indigenous yeasts and the wine aged in Burgundian oak (predominantly puncheons) both old and new for eight months.
Flowering in Piccadilly Valley is relatively late owing to the cool climate, and we were lucky to flower during a warm window, however, combined with a dry season, yields were still compromised, as they were across the state. Although in short supply, quality was excellent and the clean fruit ripened in mild conditions showing good flavour and concentration.

Keeps its slim, trim Adelaide Hills structure while giving it flesh and substance in the form of generous grapefruit, lemon zest, honeydew melon, nectarine with hints of struck flint. The finish is full of acid tension and emerging texture. Put it away for a while before broaching.
