Pale green-straw colour with brilliant clarity, reflecting the freshness typical of high-altitude Eden Valley Chardonnay vineyards.

👃 Aromas (Nose)

Lifted aromas of citrus blossom, white peach and nectarine, supported by subtle notes of cashew, almond meal and flinty minerality that add complexity.

👅 Palate

Elegant and expressive with flavours of fresh lemon citrus, grapefruit and white peach, complemented by hints of lime tart and stone fruit. A gentle crème brûlée richness adds depth to the fruit-driven palate.

⚖️ Structure & Balance

Medium-bodied with bright natural acidity and a focused mineral backbone. Barrel fermentation in French oak with partial malolactic fermentation and lees ageing contributes subtle texture and complexity while maintaining freshness.

✨ Finish

Long and refined with lingering citrus, stone fruit and gentle toasty oak notes, finishing crisp and balanced.

🍇 Overall Style

A cool-climate Eden Valley Chardonnay sourced from vineyards around Craneford at around 420 m elevation, where cooler temperatures help retain acidity and produce elegant, mineral-driven wines.

🍽 Food Pairing

🐟 Grilled fish or seafood
🍗 Roast chicken with herbs
🍝 Creamy pasta or pumpkin ravioli
🧀 Soft cheeses such as brie or camembert

Cellaring: Drink now for freshness or cellar 5–7 years as the wine develops nutty and honeyed complexity.

Cheers
