Pale straw. The elegantl floral nose has notes of white peach, lited lemon/lime. The palate is finer that usual and very  refined, the exuberant fruit of youth is evident, pear and lime, with all the elements of high quality chardonnay falling into line behind it. Light cinnamon and ginger hint . Long and soft but with an intense core of concentrated fruit. A lick of extreemely fine vanillan wood. The persistent acidity blends seamlessly with the depth of fruit, showcasing the purity and intensity  developed by the granitic soils of Beechworth.

The fruit was basket pressed, juice assembled then racked to barrel with some solids retained. Fermentation was allowed to proceed on wild yeast, at medium temperature. 50% malolactic fermentation occurred in barrel slowly during the winter.
