”Hand picked, whole-bunch pressed to French oak puncheons (20% new) and barrel fermented for 20 days. Matured 9 months in oak. Budding complexity most apparent in this young chardonnay, with its honey, almonds, nougat, peaches and nectarine fruit and breezy sea-spray aromas. Smooth and concentrated across the palate, with hazelnut oak driving, it runs long. Good to go now, but patience will also be rewarded.”
