Toni Paterson MW - Halliday Wine Companion

A beautiful chardonnay with a refined palate that displays harmony, detail, brightness and impressive length. Good mid-palate intensity with juicy nectarines and lemony freshness enhanced by raw cashew and flinty notes. This complex wine has been made with grace and insight, respecting the inherent characteristics of the fruit. Made from carefully selected parcels across the valley, including the winery's Soldier Settler vineyard in Broke-Fordwich. Whole-bunch pressed fruit was fermented in French barrels (40% new) with battonage over eight months. Selected barrels underwent mlf to enhance palate richness and softness. Outstanding for the price.
