Colour: Pale straw with green hues, reflecting freshness and finesse.
Aroma: Lifted and pure, with notes of grapefruit, green pear, baked apple, and a flinty edge that hints at its mineral-rich soils and considered élevage.
Palate: Mouth-filling and creamy, this Chardonnay strikes a beautiful balance between texture and tension. Wild ferment complexity, subtle oak spice (25% new Damy and Chassin), and lees stirring contribute richness, while a bright line of acidity brings drive and precision. A harmonious and expressive wine, showcasing the cool-climate pedigree of Mount Torrens and thoughtful, hands-off winemaking.
Alc/Vol: 13.0%
