This clone 76 Chardonnay boasts south-east exposure and grown in a mineral-rich part of the vineyard, aged in 25% new oak (large format barrels) for 10 months – it’s complex but in a subtle way, rolling out it’s aromas and flavours slowly: peach, apple, smoke, minerality in the aroma department, while peach and apple cobbler join together on the palate … the acidity swings in to clean the “richness” up, but also allows it to linger seductively on the tongue. It truly is a wine to be savoured and enjoyed over the course of an evening. Price: $44.99 – Rating: **** ½
