Note di degustazione
Bright lemon colour. Smoky reduction is strong on the nose, adding notes of Parmesan and struck flint to bright lemon fruit. Very modern in style, with cutting acidity against creamy citrus. White peach and smoke linger on the finish, which is both pithy and creamy. (TP)

A whole different level of Chardonnay, so much complexity and nuance. The aromatics on this are full and rich yet the texture is precise and pointed. Creamy texture, great length, generous and seductive apricot pit, lemon- grass and slate-scraping citrus, inching forward a slow shuffle at a time. Wet stone minerality, acidity that is well judged - high enough to build freshness though the palate, but not over the top, despite this being a cooler growing season and a harvest that was two weeks later than average. Juicy on the finish, and a wine that it is hard to put down. Joyful Chardonnay. Number 762 of 2,288 bottles, 3.71ph, wild yeast fermentation. Biodynamic farming across the entire estate, but no certification. Tasted twice.
