Tasting Notes

Vineyard conditions resulted in the 2008 vintage being an elegant and well balanced Chardonnay with well integrated wood, giving the wine a nose of hot buttered toast. Well balanced, upfront flavours abound and a mid palate of appealing citrus yields to a full finish.

Ageing Potential

Bottled under Vinolok, giving good aging potential.
