This vintage of Blackbilly Chardonnay sourced from a single vineyard in the Adelaide zone, specifically the maritime Currency Creek vineyard. Distinctive in varietal aromatics and flavours with complexity generated from winemaking techniques – including use of old French oak hogsheads with vineyard yeasts, high solids, 100% malolactic fermentation influence and lees stirred for 15 months
Product Description
Colour: Medium straw with a slight green and yellow hues
Nose: White peach, lemon curd with a waxy cashew nut note. Buttery complexity and some funky aromatics from the winemaking techniques. Should develop a flinty note with cellaring.
Palate: Clean, crisp acid with stone fruit and lemon zest/pith/curd. Some light phenolic lift from the oak adds interest and appeal. Needs a little time to meld together.
