Location: Adelaide Hills, South Australia
Winemaking / Farming Techniques: This single-vineyard Chardonnay was hand-harvested on March 19, 2022, from the Bower Ridge Vineyard, managed by grower Charles Rosback. The 2022 vintage experienced mild summer conditions, allowing for excellent flavor development with slower sugar accumulation and retention of natural acidity. The wine was aged in French oak barrels for 10 months, with 25% being new oak, contributing to its complexity and structure.
Style/Body: Medium-bodied with a seamless palate and a mouthwatering, persistent finish.
Notes: The wine exhibits aromas of lifted white flowers, peach, lemon curd, oyster shell, chalk, beeswax, and baking spice. On the palate, it presents crystal-clear characteristics of fine Chardonnay, with flavors of Meyer lemon, orange rind, honeycomb, and toast. The acidity is beautifully balanced, providing a luxurious feel alongside well-integrated oak.
