Tasting Notes
Release Date: Spring 2020
The Edna Valley has one of the longest growing seasons in the world for the Chardonnay grape. Budbreak, the official start of the growing season, occurs in February with harvest, the official end, happening in October.
The 2017 is a very expressive wine, with aromas of honeysuckle, rose petal and lemon custard all on display. On the palate there is a generous impression of gardenia blossom, toasty oak and citrus. Completely barrel-fermented in French oak, this Chardonnay is aged nine months on the fermentation sediments in our mountain cave.
