The Story
In 2021 we selected the best barrels from our Steven and LDR Vineyards and blended them to produce this wine. It is the style of Chardonnay that we love to drink.Fine, elegant, complex and well balanced wine, nothing like the guys who made it!
The Wine
Subtle aromas of vanillin oak and melon, with a hint of green pear. The wine is balanced with the creamy vanillan texture from maturation in French Oak. Medium length on the finish makes this a balanced modern Australian Chardonnay.
The Vintage
Low yields, small bunches and exceptional fruit profile were the hallmarks of the 2021 vintage. A good growing and picking season resulted in high quality fruit coming off our vineyards.
The Potential
This wine is drinking very well as a young wine but will continue to improve with 8-15 years further cellaring. Add a six pack to add to your cellar and open one each year to see the development.
The Match
Our 2021 Limited Release Chardonnay perfectly matches grilled Spatchcock with celery leaf salad and a lemon butter sauce. Delicious!
