Dark core with a purple rim in colour. Fruit driven style with notes of freshly cut plum, cherries and liquorice.

Beautifully soft wine showing plum, cherry and some sweeter blueberry notes. A rich flavoursome wine with beautifully soft tannins and the finest touch of oak.

Winemaking

The fruit was picked in the cool of night then fermented on skins in static potters and rotary fermenters for a period of seven days to retain as much of the luscious natural fruit flavour as possible. Warm temperatures at the early stages of fermentation along with three days of post ferment maceration helped develop soft fleshy fruit and tannins while helping build structure. Following the pressing process, clarification and final blending the fruit was matured with select parcels having contact with 2nd and 3rd use oak.

Cellaring

Great to drink now, but will mature and develop complexity for the next 3 years.

Bursting with tropical fruit notes, this is a fruit driven style with lovely ripe stone fruit intensity. Tropical fruits dominate while some stone fruit provides good depth and natural acidity gives a refreshing kick to this delicious Chardonnay.

Cellaring

Made to drink upon release whilst the fruit flavour is at its most fresh and vibrant.
