Sample
Produced from clone 76 Chardonnay the wine was kept on lees for 30 months prior to disgorging, with minimal dosage. The wine gives a light to golden yellow in the glass with the nose centred around nectarine with fresh bread and blanched almonds giving bottle induced complexity.

There is a layering of stone fruits on the palate with a creamy richness that is offset by green apple and zippy citrus acidity. Time on lees gives a fullness of mouth feel to finish with oyster shell adding a final embellishment to the zesty assemblage of nectarine and white peach.
