The wine was matured in French oak barrels sourced from six different cooperages. Barrel rolling was employed to ensure light lees contact for texture while malolactic fermentation naturally adjusted acidity for balance and structure.

A fresh, elegant Tassie Chardonnay with excellent textural feel

Brilliant very pale straw almost water like colour with a distinctive greenish tinge around the outskirts and a watery hue. Delightful top notes of fresh white peach and nectarine emerge from the glass followed by more subtle aromas of dried honey, light cashew and a hint of spicy nougat. Medium weight, fresh and elegant with vibrant white peach and nectarine flavours to the fore over a background of light dried honey, delicate spicy cashew and mineral. Clean dry finish with a nice textural feel that will be further enhanced with some bottle age. Long aftertaste of fresh white peach, subtle dried honey, faint spicy cashew and mineral.
Cellar 4-5 years.
Alc 12.5%
