This is a bigger than usual VAT 47 with comparisons that could be drawn to Rosemount Giant’s Creek Chardonnay. 25% of the wine was matured in new French oak, whilst the balance was matured in 1 and 3 year old casks.
Deep brassy straw colour with deep straw hue. The nose displays good complexity with notes of yeast lees, cashew, hazelnut and biscuit evident. There is good palate weight and structure, with a layer hazelnut over citrus and yeast lees. Clean acid finish. Aftertaste of hazelnut, citrus, cashew and yeast lees.
Cellar 3-4 years (2009-2010)
