This 2022 Chardonnay hails from the cool-climate, terra-rossa soils of the Coonawarra region, and showcases a beautifully balanced, modern style. It presents pale straw with green hues, and the bouquet offers ripe nectarine and stone fruit aromas overlaid with subtle yeasty complexity and a touch of vanilla from French oak.

On the palate the wine is medium-bodied with persistent stone-fruit flavours, crisp and fine mineral acidity, and a clean, long finish. The winemaking emphasises freshness: harvested cool, pressed promptly, matured eight months in 100% French oak (35% new) with lees stirring.

Perfect for drink now and over the next 4-5 years, this wine is a strong entrant in the premium white category elegant, textured and versatile with food.
