Mouthfilling flavours of white peaches and nectarines mingle with dried honey, cashew, gun flint and citrusy nougat. Creamy mid palate textural feel finishing with freshness and elegance showing excellent persistence.

Other Reviews….
P58 and I10V1 clones, hand-picked, wild-fermented in French oak (30% new), matured for 11 months. Shows the great Yarra Valley ‘14 chardonnay vintage isn’t losing its form. This is all about restraint and elegance. Drink by 2022.
