Vinted in a thoroughly modern style, this 2023 single vineyard release blends outright power with tremendous palate detail and, with hand on hearts, we can say that our in-house team of chardonnay freaks are simply besotted with it. Flinty, struck match characters add interest on the nose which otherwise sings with classic barrel-fermented notes - while a whopping 30% new oak adds depth and spice on the palate. Regional peach and grapefruit flavours dominate, until fresh acidity snaps you back to attention. Some oak spice lingers on the palate but the lasting impression is one of balance and restraint. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff0000;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eIt's already in brilliant form but can be cellared over the coming 7-8 years.
