“Applejack is a tightly structured Chard with vibrant yet delicate aromas of citrus and florals underpinned by seashells, toast and a bit of toffee once it warms. The palate is like a jolt of electricity: a tart, lemony acidity bringing energy and freshness to a chalky texture. Could be a knockout with sole or a similar white fish. Drink now2030.”

Winemaker Notes:

“The 2020 season was a bit of a rollercoaster, beginning with a very cold winter into a cool wet Spring, a dry and warm December and then a mild February/March punctuated by a few rain events. The cool Spring delivered very low yields across our Chardonnay blocks,
primarily driven by tighter, smaller bunches the consequence of which is naturally high acidity and fresh savoury flavours. Harvest dates were significantly later than average.”
