Tasting note
Mineral with waxy white flower, grapefruit and clove spice aromas. Fine lined and textured on the palate with nectarine, raw cashew & toasted granola flavours. A wine that will develop in bottle over the next 10 years.
Viticulture
Vintage 2020 was defined by the cool ripening conditions and rain across the harvest period. Crop levels were low across most varieties. The conditions resulted in higher acidities in both whites and reds. The Chardonnay is a standout wine coming from the cooler Willowlake vineyard. Hand picked.
Vinification
Whole bunch pressed, with light solids, to French hogsheads for 100% barrel fermentation. The wine was aged in 30% new and a balance of seasoned oak for 9 months prior to bottling.
Food Match
Barbequed whole snapper with salsa verde.
