2022 Sticks Chardonnay

Pale straw with flecks of green. A nose of lemon and lime meringue with roasted almonds and a touch of toast. On the palate there’s white peach with a twist of ginger and focussed structure. Finishes dry with a lovely cleansing acidity.

Vintage 2021 was a very good one... a goldilocks vintage where everything was just right. Crop levels were slightly above the long-term average, summer temperatures were moderate, and the grapes had a beautifully dry February to ripen. However, the vintage was not without challenge, the higher-than-average rainfall through Spring and January kept the vineyard teams on their toes. But the resulting wines are well balanced, with moderate alcohol, zippy acid...and high levels of deliciousness.
