The 2021 vintage is 100% Chardonnay (multiple clones including 76 and I10V1) grown in the Piccadilly Valley, Adelaide Hills. Barrel fermented exclusively in French oak barriques (40% new) for 10 months; only partial natural malolactic fermentation. No finings used – suitable for vegans and vegetarians
Very light bright yellow hue; discreet cashewnut and lightly toasted almond bouquet; the wine is refined and subtle, the oak barely perceptible, beautifully harmonised. A trace of smoky reduction, ever so subtle. The wine is tautly composed and reserved, discreet, and holding more in reserve for the future. Beautiful wine; great potential. - Huon Hooke, The Real Review, 96 Points
