Tasting Note:
An inviting and complex nose of almond and apricot kernel with our distinctive white florals. It’s less citrus focussed than normal, expressing more in the stonefruit spectrum due to the warmer 2018 growing season. Winemaking is minimalist: not fined or filtered, allowing for greater expression of place over process. The various vineyard components of this Bannockburn bottling contribute to a palate that is textural, nutty and very long.

Taut, youthful and still quite closed chardonnay with wet stone/mineral, a hint of marzipan, white peach/stone fruit and nicely integrated oak. An impressive, powerful wine that can be appreciated now but needs time to reveal its full potential.

Very textural chardonnay - silken with impressive weight and mouth-feel. Wet stone, mineral, a hint of marzipan, white peach, stone fruit and nicely integrated oak. A sophisticated wine with real power. Needs time to reveal it's full potential.
