Engaging candid lemon bouquet; the palate is medium/full –richly textured and rounded displaying guava and other ripe tropical fruits. Light citrus notes return on the finish. A Petit Chablis that is on the rich and ripe rather than mineral end of the spectrum. 100% Chardonnay grapes from 10ha of vines ranging in age from 40 to 70 years, grown on the plateau terroir of Portlandian soil. The fruit is whole-bunch pressed, transferred to stainless steel tanks for a cool fermentation with indigenous yeast. Malolactic conversion is completed with indigenous bacteria and the wine is matured on fine lees in tank for 4months prior to bottling.
