The 2016 vintage was an interesting one, with storm action in December (inc some hail!) & then hot, dry conditions late January to February. This meant later ripening fruit, with this Chardonnay coming in at 12.1% alc.

Allowed to mature on top quality new (20%) French oak & blended with 1, 2 & 3 year old oak barriques, this Chardonnay has also been afforded lees contact to add complexity and texture. 

A quality Chardonnay displaying a subtle citrus acid line & a long finish.

Fruit is all handpicked to ensure quality, with only 150 dozen produced in 2016.
