Tasting Notes
This North East Victoria Chardonnay opens with an inviting bouquet of white peach, ripe nectarine, and toasted brioche, underpinned by a subtle thread of vanilla oak and fresh cream. On the palate, it delivers a beautifully balanced expression of stone fruit richness with a lively citrus backbone — think grilled lemon and golden apple — framed by gentle French oak influence that adds texture without overwhelming the fruit. The wine shows the hallmark of the cool-influenced North East Victorian highlands, where warm days and cold nights preserve natural acidity and aromatic lift. A restrained use of malolactic fermentation lends a silky, creamy mid-palate weight that integrates seamlessly with the fruit. The finish is long, clean, and mineral-edged, with lingering notes of toasted almond and white blossom.
