About the wine
Tasting notes
The fruit for this wine came from two cold sites at Gumeracha in the Adelaide Hills. Bernard 95 “Chablis” clone Chardonnay was pressed directly to fine grain French Oak with zero sulphur additions to undergo a full solids barrel ferment. Post ferment the barrels were topped, sulphured, and allowed to mature for 5 months prior to racking, blending, and bottling. The wine is showing all the hallmarks of premium cool climate Chardonnay, white nectarine, lemon peel, oatmeal, and nougat aromas. A full, concentrated pallet with wonderful depth and complexity all framed with bright acidity. Drink 2023 to 2032

Expert review
Wonderfully complex and engaging, the wine shows white flesh nectarine, lemon peel, oatmeal and subtle nougat notes, leading to an impressively concentrated palate delivering excellent depth and richly textured mouthfeel. Superbly structured by bright acidity, finishing gorgeously long and refined. At its best: 2023 to 2032. 95 Points
Chardonnay
One of the most planted, versatile and popular white varieties in the world. As a stand alone grape, Chardonnay is not the most interesting, nor complex varietal out there...but in the hands of a great winemaker it can be turned into one of the world's greatest pleasures! From the best bubbles of Champagne, to the lean, unoaked and mineral expressions of Chablis and the opulent, oaked and complex whites of Burgundy, Chardonnay is responsible for making some of the greatest expressions of white wine on the planet.
