Sourced from the Cornish Point and The Elms vineyards using a variety of Chardonnay clones the wine was matured in French oak, 10% new, for a period of 12 months.
Brilliant pale straw colour with a distinctive greenish tinge around the edges and a watery hue. Top notes of nectarine and peach subtlety infused with grapefruit are followed by some light dried honey, biscuity nougat and spice. Medium weight, elegant and creamy in texture the palate has flavours of nectarines and white peaches infused with dried honey and faint cashew over some biscuity nougat and spice. Clean dry finish with perfectly judged acidity. Outstanding length with a long refined aftertaste of peaches, nectarines, dried honey infusions, nougat and struck match stick.
Cellar 5-6 years.
