This lightly golden chardonnay is aromatically generous giving red apple, custard apple, quince and fresh picked wildflowers. Nutmeg, clove and vanilla bean are the driving secondary spices, complimentary to the apple Danish / fresh pastry lees aromas. Roasted hazelnuts and waves of toasty new oak proceed. The wine is not shyly expressed in the glass. Fine acid is wound around the wine’s silky lees, driving complexity. In equal measures this King Valley chardonnay shows salinity, ripe fruit and clotted cream which unapologetically fill out the palate. A considered and structured chardonnay.
