2018 Farr Rising Chardonnay

Rich and powerful with a seductive creaminess to its textural feel.

The Farr Rising vineyard was planted with Chardonnay clones Dijon and Penfolds 58 in 2001. Maturation takes place in French oak of which 20-30% can be new for a period of 11 months.
Brilliant pale straw colour with a faint tinge of green around the edges and a watery hue. Fleshy white peach, dried honey and cashew scents sail through the olfactory senses with great intensity followed by nougat, biscuity oak and spice. Rich, seductive and creamy in its feel, the palate is flooded with white peach, ripe nectarine and dried honey flavours which are flanked by cashew, biscuity nougat and spice elements. Long powerful finish with perfectly balanced acidity.
Superb drinking over the next 4-5 years.
Alc. 13.5%
