The grapes in this barrel fermented single vineyard Chardonnay are grown on a steep southerly slope resulting in an impressive full bodied white wine that offers a rich spectrum of flavours from citrus characters to cashews, melon and butterscotch.  A well designed, fruit driven wine displaying elegance and finesse on the palate, offering a rich mouth feel and finishing with fresh and clean acidity.  One not to be missed.  Cellar for up to 5 years.
