Refined and expressive, showing citrus, white peach and nectarine.
Hints of apricot kernel, spice and lightly integrated oak add depth and complexity.

👅 Palate
Elegant and balanced, delivering citrus and stone fruit with impressive purity.
A gentle creaminess from lees work and partial malolactic fermentation adds texture, while fine acidity keeps everything fresh and focused.

🍈 Texture & Finish
Medium-bodied with a smooth, lightly creamy mouthfeel.
The finish is long and mineral-driven, with citrus and subtle oak spice lingering beautifully.

🍇 Overall Style
A classic cool-climate Tasmanian Chardonnay—elegant, textural and finely structured.
Combines fresh fruit, subtle oak and bright acidity for a modern, balanced style.

🍽️ Food Pairing

🥂 BBD Verdict
A polished, modern Chardonnay that delivers freshness, texture and finesse in equal measure.
Perfect for mixed dozens where you want a premium Aussie Chardonnay that overdelivers on quality and drinkability.
