Description
Colour: Light gold. Nose: Exceptionally poised and quietly expressive bouquet opens on finely etched notes of lime blossom and fresh lime zest, underpinned by subtle quince and a lifted flinty minerality that becomes more pronounced with air. Subtle wild-ferment nuances and a whisper of creamy macadamia lend complexity without distracting from the wine’s crystalline core. The aromatic profile is restrained, layered and quietly compelling. Palate: The palate is linear, taut and mineral-driven, shaped by a fine chalk-dust grip and a seam of precise, lime-edged acidity. A delicate saline thread heightens focus and length, while immaculately integrated élevage contributes a faint suggestion of sweet spice and creaminess. The finish is long, cool and resonant, marked by zesty citrus, salinity and mouth-watering persistence. A beautifully composed wine, striking in its precision, that will continue to evolve with grace.
Food Pairing
Chardonnay pairs well with oily, flaky fish, chicken breast and soft or semi soft cheeses.
