Pale and luminescent green in colour, the aromatics are intensely floral with notes of white blossom, passionfruit pith, white nectarine, lemon balm and jasmine. The palate is energetic, focussed and lithe with cascading layers of exotic citrus of kafir and finger limes, just ripe passion fruit, guava, green mango and hints of tangerine and lemongrass. The wine has a vibrant pithiness, lively acidity lifts the fruit and gives the wine lovely drive. A touch of oak adds textural complexity with the finish is long and salivating.

This Yarra Valley Chardonnay was made from fruit sourced entirely from Medhurst Estate Vineyard. All fruit handpicked whole bunch pressed and fermented in French oak (10% new) where Indigenous fermentation in barrel lasting around one month. We decided to put one third of the blend through MLF to soften the natural acids in this cool and vibrant year. This adds depth and complexity to the pure stone fruit palate. The wine spent 5 months in oak before blending with full solids into tank. The wine was bottled with minimal filtration on August 30th, 2018. Bright pale straw with green hues, extremely vibrant and brilliant in the glass. The nose shows hints of grapefruit and stone fruit, both rich and flavoursome yet subtle. No real oak influence, but plenty of mealy, flinty notes. The palate is poised and powerful, showing off a benchmark Yarra Valley vintage. Again oak in the background it simply helps usher the beautiful pure fruit to the back of an effortless long and fine palate. This wine will look terrific over the medium term.
