Barrel-fermented with indigenous yeast and full MLF. Only light battonage (two stirs) and only sulfur sand filtration. No other additions. About 30 per cent new oak.
COLOUR
Bright, medium yellow with a golden hue.
NOSE
Aromatic chardonnay with apple, grapefruit, and subtle oak and nutty yeast lees flavours.
PALATE
Fruity chardonnay, balanced with a touch of oak. Partial barrel fermentation offers complexity, delivering a characteristic purity underpinned by natural
acidity. Oyster shell aromatics give way to a ripe, rich stonefruit flavour profile.
