A wine with great fruit intensity and chalky acidity. The wine displays peach, grapefruit, and cumquat flavours with notes of rockmelon and citrus pith. The wine is richly flavoured with integrated oak and an attractive mineral thread. This wine is typical of the new style of Australian Chardonnay that combines fruit intensity with refinement and elegance.
