The complex nose leads with citrus, lemontree flower, white peach and fresh coconut complemented with a floral tone that underscores its minerality.The zesty palate is softened by the lees contact, leading to a lingering finish. Typical Elgin cool-climate elegance.

The grapes used to make this wine are all from the same block, called Annabelle after our eldest daughter. This sandy loam block is located on the coldest site of the farm, providing the Chardonnay vines with the required cold units to bud uniformly year after year. The vines are not irrigated throughout the ripening season, forcing them to dig their roots deeper in search of water. The block is guaranteed frost throughout the winter, ensuring even budding & ripening every year.
