Colour: Light straw, clear and shiny

Bouquet: A generous and intriguing nose smelling of almond meal, grapefruit and warm buttered toast.

Palate: A lovely mix of stone fruits and citrus marry well with high toast Allier French oak which is in the background. The acid is there for a great finish.

Winemaker’s comments: This is our 24th vintage of Chardonnay from the strong growing season and vintage that was 2007. In my opinion the 2007 is a more complex and creamier wine than past releases due to a higher natural yeast fermentation and higher malo influence.

Drink now through to 2014.
