“A stunning single-vineyard Chardonnay — precise, layered and utterly compelling. One of the standout Adelaide Hills releases of the year.”

Tasting Notes

Appearance:
Pale gold with green highlights — bright, refined and crystalline.

Aroma:
Complex, lifted and beautifully detailed with:

• white peach and nectarine
• lemon zest and grapefruit
• struck flint and crushed stone
• almond meal, cashew and subtle oak spice
• hints of chamomile and sea spray

An aromatic profile that balances power and finesse.

Palate:
Intense yet perfectly poised — a masterclass in cool-climate Chardonnay.
Expect layers of:

• citrus and stone fruit
• grapefruit pith and lemon curd
• flinty reduction and mineral drive
• creamy mid-palate texture from fine oak integration

The acidity is tight and energetic, giving the wine exceptional line, length and precision.

Finish:
Long, mineral and beautifully refined — citrus, stone fruit and flint lingering with elegance and clarity.
