<p class="MsoNormal">Successfully toeing the line between richness and power and purity and drive, all in perfect harmony. A blend of Chardonnay fruit from across theestates'established vines. The fruit was handpicked, whole bunch pressed, settled over night and racked to a mixture of old and 20% new French oak. 70% of the wine went through full Malolactic fermentationandthe remainder was blocked. The wine was left onleesunstirred for10monthsprior toblending and bottling.
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">"There's ample flavour and texture here but the length of this wine is wow. It tastes of grilled peaches, green pineapple, straw, herbs and cedarwood. There's real flavour here, and a creaminess to the texture, but there's a real cut to the wine as well. </i><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; color: black; mso-themecolor: text1; background: white;">It arguably needs a bit of time to soften. It thrusts its way through the finish, drawing flavour along with it. In 15 year's time people will be pulling well-cleared bottles of this out and marvelling at how youthful it seems.<i><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">" 94+ Points - Campbell Mattinson, Wine Front </i>
